my 2000 Ford contor broke down about 1 month ago.It needs a new timing belt wich i have been told could up to $1000. I am on disabilty and can not work to raise this money myself. My family cant help me either. I hate asking strangers for help but need my car to work. I have a 10 year kid who depends on me. Please help if you can. Thank you.

Please help me! I am doing everything I can to find a 2nd job, but no matter what I do, in this economy it is almost impossible! To pay rent, I took out a title loan on my 1995 ford explorer in March of 2011! My monthly payments are $230. I took out a $850 loan! The interest is 300%, and I have had to reborrow here and there to keep up on bills.

Anyway, the balance is just over $1000 dollars. The payment of $230 is due now and I just don't have the money. If I don't pay it within the next couple days it will be repossessed. Please help with anything you can. If I lose my vehicle, I lose my job and my house which I am renting! Please help! I'll do anything!

THANKS FOR READING OUR CRY.

Greetings,

My name is Stephanie. Following the death of both my parents in a car accident 5 years ago August my health has been in a steady decline. I suffer from neurological issues that will soon have me in a wheelchair, and advanced COPD that means I have to have Oxygen continuously. Yesterday I had to go the doctors in 85 degree heat without any air conditioning in my van. By the time I got to the medical center and tried to find this new doctors location I ended up collapsing twice between the walking and breathing. I weigh 83 pounds at 5'5" and I can't carry the oxygen with me when I have to exit the vehicle. Ultimately I ended up in the emergency room.

I live with my daughter and grandson of 6 years. My grandson was in the car when my parents were killed and suffered a major brain injury at 13 months. I'm happy to report though that after months of hospitalization he is right as rain and is mad at me currently ;o) because I'm on my computer which he adores playing with. My daughter suffers from PTSD since the accident my parents were killed in. She cannot drive without someone in the car and she was going to go with me yesterday but the heat was so bad that we were concerned about Gavin in the back in my black 1994 Ford Astro van. It was just way too hot for him and with her PTSD we HAVE to go through town to get anywhere or she will lose it so there would not have been any steady air flow.

It's been a long 5 years. My parents and I jointly owned a duplex. Their deaths were the beginning of the most miserable time of my life. When I divorced it was jointly decided that it would better if I lived in the upstairs apartment so they could be there for the kids while I worked. Over 16 years we became so close that their deaths nearly destroyed me. I paid for the last 15 years on the note of the house, my buy in and we all lived there incredibly content and happy. My parents were my best friends.

After their deaths during the mortgage meltdown, credit locks, and the economic fallout my career of 16 years was one of the first to go. I worked in the non-profit sector designing programming for inner-city communities with a specific focus on youth. So 8 months after their deaths the funding streams I used for the programming dried up and a job I loved disappeared.

Life insurance was enough to cover their debt with a little left over because they didn't carry much but in the end I lost my home of 16 years to the insurance company that covered my daughters son through work when they filed a $ 90,000.00 lien against my home. So 7 months after losing my job I also lost a home I loved. So I experienced 3 deaths within the span of a little over a year.

Because I was unemployed so long and had to use my cards to keep the lights on so to speak my credit is not good. So I can't borrow the funds or even charge a repair for the car.

I can no longer go to doctors visits alone. I'm too weak to walk very far without help and I can't carry the oxygen canister on my own. So I need my daughter for these visits.

Like anyone with severe health issues I'm buried in bills but what I really need help on is funds that will me to fix the air conditioning in my van which despite it's age runs like a champ. I have a physicians assistant who comes into my home to work with my but getting to the specialists has become real concern.

My daughter even with her PTSD has reached a point where she doesn't want me going alone. I was supposed to call her when I reached the doctors the other day when I collapsed the 2nd time and they took me to the specialists office I asked the receptionist to call my daughter. She didn't and she left my daughter terrified that something horrible had happened to me. I don't carry a cell I can't afford one. My daughter was getting better about both driving and me driving myself; because of this receptionist my daughter has now had a huge set back. I have to see that doctor again next week and I can't take them without air conditioning so what I'm going to have to do is make sure I find someone that sit with my daughter while I'm gone to help keep her anxiety level low. I don't have any choice I have to get there. I won't have anyone to carry my oxygen but I'm hoping I can in there.

Anything you can do would be greatly appreciated. I am more than happy to pay it forward as soon as I can. I have been a lifelong contributor to various causes and I know people are in dire straights right now. We all need help in one form or another. I would never ask if I could do this myself. Please forgive me.

Hello, my name is Jay and I am 41 and take care of my disabled sister as well as go to school to hopefully become a youth pastor. I am asking for donations for my sister who is disabled and needs to be moved to a place where she can be away from the stress of her current situation with her illness .. I am her care giver for the last 5 years and I have been out of work for sometime now going back to school .I was able to supplement our income because I was on unemployment but that has since ran out I am currently out of work and recently had the only car we own a 20 year old ford tempo die and it was our only means of transportation and I used that transportation for all of my sisters needs. Ya see I live with my sister and I do all of her shopping and running around for her. I also make sure she makes it to her doctors appointments on time which she goes quite frequent. She has been disabled for 12 years from an on the job accident and I have been taking care of her for 5 of those years. My mother was helping before that until she passed away suddenly in 07'. we are currently in dire financial need right now and I am trying to raise enough money to get a new vehicle and get caught up on some way overdue bills and move us back home to our hometown in Lake Geneva WI because the physicians here in Iowa can not seem to get a handle on why her health has progressively gotten worse. she has been in and out of the hospital In the past 12 years and she has also other ailments to deal with she had cancer 2 years ago from a tumor in her neck which they removed and they think it was localized so it did not spread which is good news. She has constant leg swelling,incontinence which at her age is demoralizing in itself ,blood disorder,lost her teeth because of the countless medications she has been on,lost a lot of her hair, she had gastric by-pass because the doctors thought that would help her back because she was a very big girl but no so ..nothing changed but made things worse .she can not walk at all really she is severely limited because of the 3 herniated discs in her lower back and right now she has something wrong with her stomach that they think may have to do with her gastric by-pass surgery she had a few years ago but they cannot figure out what.She has severe nerve damage in her lower back which they think maybe the cause of her leg swelling and incontinence. The worst is she is only 41 and has not had a real chance to live..she spends a lot of her disability check on her incontinence and medical supplies because medicare will only allow her so much a month and medications her plan does not cover. I love my sister so much and want to make her as comfortable as I can but with all the negative things happening to her she is starting to have doubts about her faith..and I can't have that. God is the one person I know she loves besides me because we only have eachother...please..We need to raise at least that amount to pay for past due bills and a reliable vehicle so I can bring her back home where we grew up and where I know that is the one place that makes her happy ..I need to take this worry off of her. Right now she has such severe anxiety over all of this medical and financial issues that she has to take 2 different kinds of medicine to combat this anxiety. So not only will that money help her, it will help us to find a vehicle that I can get her to her doctors appointments as well as help her in other means and hopefully to work when I find a job.I am asking anyone that will listen to please..please help my sister ..her health is declining so fast almost everyday and it is something new that is going wrong and I seriously do not know how much more she can bear being stuck in the place she is with no hope of ever having any type of life..i love my sister ..I can not lose my best friend. ..Please help me to show her that there are good people out there who want to help. I know and have faith that there are .Thank you to all who read this story God Bless.

I'm 40 yrs old and have been permanently disabled due to my suffering from chronic back pain, leg pain and migraine headaches, not to mention depression as well. My partner of 20 yrs is the only one I have to help me with my daily routine. We recently had our 14 yr old Ford Escort junked because it gave out on us for the last time and we just didn't have the funds to repair it for a second time. This was our only mode of transportation for groceries, doctor appointments, etc. We haven't even been able to visit family in many yrs because our car was in such bad condition. Since I'm disabled, we only have my disability income as our one and only source of income as many of you may know, that's only enough to pay bills, and not much more, especially since everything's getting more expensive by the minute. If anyone out there, has it in the heart, after reading our post, and can donate towards our purchase of a new car, it would be greatly appreciated. I don't need anything fancy; a simple Ford would be more than enough to get me to my many doctor appointments, which by the way, taking buses, is difficult having to wait long periods of time, in agonizing pain, for buses to get to where we need to go. So again, if anyone can help, it would really be appreciated. Thank You and God Bless!!

Help! We got hit by a drunk driver on dec. 02. The guy that hit us had a BAC of .246, and ran a red light. We got 2700 for our car from insurance. WE are trying to repair and rebuild our credit ruined because of student loans so we had no wish or extra income to finance. We wound up getting a 1994 Ford Taurus wagon. They put a new engine in it that's going to be done friday, but it's still a 17 year old car that will probably need repairs. WE are on a tight budget, and we would appreciate being able to build a rainy day fund for the car so that we don't have to worry when something will go wrong. We're fairly good at fixing most things. Our last car was a 1996 Taurus and we fixed the brakes, rotors and calipers, replaced the battery and terminal wires, spark plugs and wires, changed all fluids, repaired hoses, and we were about to replace the catalytic converter on our own when we got hit. Previous cars we've worked with have taught us how to replace tires, radiators, water pumps and fuel pumps. We plan to maintain our new car in a similar way so that we can keep it for a couple hundred thousand miles. It's not just about keeping costs down, it's about keeping a serviceable car on the road and out of crowded landfills. It's about a car that you love through a long relationship, a vehicle that you understand every quirk. It was that way with my '96, and I just know it will be that way with my '94 With a rainy day fund I would feel much more secure when it comes to fixing the inevitable problems that come with a comfortable old lady like a 1994 taurus LX wagon. She is getting a new engine so the head gasket issues of the second generation Taurus's 3.8L essex are going to be mitigated if not eliminated for at least the next 100,000 miles, but the tranny and AC especially, followed by suspension, electrics, brakes, steering, pumps (fuel and water), and of course the routine tires, oil, wipers, brake pads, etc. are all possible future repairs. All the fun of having a car that you can't lightly trade in. Parts usually run $80 average if it's anything like the '96 in terms of maintenence, ommiting outliers like tranny and AC. Any help you can give would be appreciated. I know I'm starting to sound like Ray Stantz talking about the pile of 1959 caddy that became the ghostmobile.

Oh and also, I'm up to suggestions as to what I am going to name this car. So far we've had a 97 dodge stratus named Pearl, a 1994 Buick LeSabre named Einhander, and our last car was a 96 Taurus named Wyrd (after the goddess of Fate). Yeah I picked the name after the first 2 listed died in the same month and we scrapped both for this one. Ultimately totalled in a wreck with a drunk driver was a fitting end for such a car with such a name, but it still makes me sad, that much AMERICAN BUILT and ENGINEERED chicago assembled car with the 3.0 L vulcan engine, cast of iron in the forges of Ohio and not a single leak despite topping 153k. Only 145 HP but it got the job done beautifully and dependably. You just don't get cars like that in the new millenium. *sigh* i will miss my 3rd gen taurus. Every day i see a dozen of them being driven bearing the characteristic curves and oval rear window. Anyway. . .a rainy day fund would go a long way towards helping me to learn to love her older sister. Right now I'm thinking of calling her Providence.

I want money for travel so I can live life to its fullest,be able to shop till I drop. Not have to worry why if I get this I willbe short somewhere else. Or no I just hv to window shop. No I was born to not only shop but to buy and leave out the store and take it drive it wear it ,ride it out the store or Boutique .Eat in any restaurant anywhere I want and not hv to worry bout why I'm ordering wht gonna cost.

I am a 38 year old single mom of a 3 year old boy. The last year has been super difficult for us, and it seems like the rain is never going to stop. I have been off work on disability since June 26, 2010, due to heart problems. I was born with a heart defect and had to have open heart surger at 3 1/2 years old. Last year, scar tissue from the surgery began causing serious heart issues. During the course of figuring out what excactly was wrong with my heart, I had 2 different two day trips to the hospital, 3 emergency room visits, numerous doctor appointments, copays, prescriptions, changed prescriptions etc that have costed several hundred dollars in copays (almost $1000). In addition to that, due to paperwork problems at work, my disability was delayed by almost three months, so I fell behind on my rent and utilities.

During the time I had no income, I borrowed $3000 from my Mother to pay my rent and bills. Unfortunately, due to a loss of income herself, she is no longer able to help me. I also ended up borrowing $400 from my Grandparents to repair the head gasket on my only vehicle. I ended up moving to a cheaper place because the utilities were included and after living there 3 months, the owner of the house decided not to pay the utilities and let the power get shut off and refused to have them turned back on, even though I have sleep apnea and have to use a CPAP machine at night. I had a cardiac ablation done on March 25, 2011. The power was turned off 3 days later, on March 28th. It has been a full month and the power is still off. I cannot turn the utilities on in my name because there are two houses on the same meter, so if I got the utilities in my name, I would have to pay for both houses.

I found another place to move to, but spent hundreds of dollars in gas, moving truck rental fees, storage unit fees and moving help. On one of my moving trips, the drive line snapped on my Ford Explorer. I had to pay $250 to get it repaired. Eight days later the altenator went out and I had to get that replaced, which cost me $175. The mechanic told me that my battery was also bad, so I had to pay another $45 for a new battery.

On top of that, the house that I am moving out of was broken into yesterday and several items were stolen. I am a Certified Massage Therapist and my Massage Chair was stolen, along with a weedeater, my mothers Hoover carpet cleaner, my vacuum cleaner, my kodak printer, various household goods, about 35 old nintendo games, a bunch of art supplies for my son and almost all of my son's toys were stolen. 3 large moving boxes full of toys were taken out of his room. I have been working on moving all month long, but I had no one to help me and after just having surgery I was only able to do so much every day. I still have more to move this weekend.

I am sorry this is so long, I am just don't know where else to go. The kicker is, I have renter's insurance, but my work stopped paying the premiums 3 months ago and I was only notified on Wednesday, the 27th of April. So, since my premiums haven't been paid, I am not covered. I am looking to get some help so I can pay back my Grandparents, pay back my Mom and replace my sons toys and my massage chair. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I need to get a transmission for my car. It's a good car but older 93 model ford taurus.

If I don't get it fixed I could lose my job.

I need $4500.00 to replace the engine in my 1998 Ford Windstar. This is a crises for us. Can't afford a new car and would rather not add to the junk yards of America by junking it. Need it for my son and I to get back and forth to work and to get my Mother to doctor appointments. Without it, we will lose our jobs and our home as we will be unable to work as we live in a rural area and there are no public transportation systems. I am not lazy. Two years ago I walked back and forth to work, 12 miles each way-took me over 4 hours each way, when it broke down then, my legs are not what they were two years ago. I just can't do it this time. My son, does not work at all within walking distance. Thank you!

I am a 57 year-old unemployed IT professional. Am trying desperately to find any work in my field. Working as an inventory taker ($8.50/hour) - schedule is less than 20 hours/week. I owned an internet cafe from 2003-2007. Widowed in 2006. I have been trying to sell all the excess stock (candles, cups/mugs, artwork, kitchie stuff & much more) since closing. Have used all savings, IRA & all nooks & crannies. Just sold/junked my 1995 Ford Windstar because it needed a complete brake/line job (old car=rusted everything under there). They wanted $600 to fix. I am afraid that after this fix there would soon be more major things to need repair. That's the way it usually goes with old cars. Mortgage company has started foreclosure process & I expect that I cannot fight them without a chunk of money to bring to the table. I have difficulty having yard sales because I am alone - but I want to empty my house of all the excess I bought home when I closed the store. I need money but would also like to know if there is someone or organization I could contact for help organizing/selling all my stuff. I have always taken a back seat to the needs of family & work but now I need help & don't know how I am going to do this. Please help if you can - no donation or information too small. Thank you for considering my request.

In 2008, I sold my 2003 Honda CRV, that was nearly paid off, after I had been laid off for an extended period of time. I knew that I couldn't make the payments and I really didn't want to loose the car, so I sold it. I spend about 3 months without a car, and then my father gave me my deceased grandfather's 1995 Ford van. The van is barely hanging on and my financial situation has been repeatedly sunken by an ongoing custody battle regarding my 2 sons.

I broke down and replaced all four tires on the van before winter came, but drive very limited amounts because of the overall condition of the car. My credit took a tumble when I was laid off in the middle of 2007, but I have told my children that we will continue to drive the van until I can buy a Honda Element.

Although it may seem excessive, it is the car I want and am willing to sacrifice for. Right now, we are dependant on other people to make longer trips because the van won't start after 2-3 stops and starts.

I would really like to be able to purchase a used Element by summer so we are not trapped into not going anywhere. Every penny counts, and i would appreciate any donations that I receive. I am truly just trying to get our life back on track, and the car is a major focal point in being able to do that.

We have been having problems since the economy crashed. We lost our home and our fence company was no longer bringing in much money. So I had to go to work, but the only job I could find was an hour away.So I tried my hand at selling cars.After about 5 months there I was on my way to work and hit black ice and flipped my suv 3 times. I was shook up and had a concussion but otherwise ok. I had tried twice before to get an economical car from my dealership but they said I'd need a lot of down. After the accident I tried again but it was the same story. I went to the salesman at a ford dealership that I had bought my Explorer from and was able to get a Ford Focus. Even though we were having it rough I was sure we could make the payment. However one week later they layed me off. I was able to get another job at a department store but does not start for a couple of weeks. So I am in dire straights. The tags, insurance and payment are due soon and I will not have a paycheck in time.I also have a lot of other bills that need paying that I don't want to think about. I need $1600.00. This would pay for my tags,insurance, first payment and gas till my first check. I don't know what else to do. Everyone I know,family and friends, are in the same state as I am.
Please, won't someone out there help me?

I am 23 years old and work as a waiter full time. I pay my own rent, cell phone, and car insurance. I own a 1996 Ford Explorer. I pawned the title to my car last month to pay my rent because my work has been sooooooooo slow. I owe $750 dollars to get my title back. I am so far behind on my bills I will not be able to come up with this amount of money in the time I have, and pay my rent and buy food. I made a horrible decision by pawning my title. If I lose my transportation I will not be able to get to work and will lose my job. As a result I may be homeless before Febuary. PLEASE ANYBODY THAT CAN HELP CALL ME 2563376596. North American Title Loans in HUntsville, AL has my title. There number is 2565393515. This is not a scam. PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME I HAVE NO FAMILY OR FRIENDS THAT CAN PROVIDE THIS AMOUNT OF MONEY. Sincerely - Charles Covey

I have gotten myself in one of the worst situations I have ever been in in my life. Here I got through college with not only a Masters degree but two masters degrees all in art. I owe the government like 250,000.00 in student loan money all consolidated with William D. Ford now but they are waiting and adding a $1,000.00 interest every month and I am not making any payment because I have no job and no way of finding one anymore. I have been turned down everywhere and get so discouraged it just makes me want to cry and I do a lot. I have a pickup payment and a small student loan payment that is separate private loan that I have to pay every month in the bankruptcy settlement. I thank God I have no wife and children. I took care of my aunt that had emphysema and died after 6 years of my caring for her. She was so sad to watch deteriorate and waste away. I also am living with my Dad now and he desperately wants me out of his house so he can retire and not support me anymore since I am 52 years old. See this is such a depressing situation that just gets worse everyday. Winter and the holidays coming on now and the long dark days will make me so sad now. So I ask you to please help and give what you can. I wish I was not in this situation so much. I have helped so many people and then to end up like this is just unreal. I thank you so much and it is much appreciated and God bless you.

I am a recently divorced mother of two kids. My ex-husband left me for a woman 22 years younger than he. I don't know why he didn't just go out and buy a shiny,red sports car, but he didn't. As a result, when all was said and done and I found myself officially single, I had nothing.

I was never allowed to have my own checking account, everything was in his name. I have a full-time job, but it is low pay, because I was a stay-at-home mother all those years and never had the opportunity to work and establish experience. So now I am scraping by from pay to pay, with one pay going right to the house payment and the other pays whatever bills I can. I have no medical insurance, I applied for the medical card but they say I make just over the limit and do not qualify.

I have been shutting things off left and right, and skimping on food shopping.

I have been driving around a rusting 2002 Ford Focus, with all broken engine mounts, a cracked radiator, and cracked head gasket. I need new tires and new brakes.

I have no insurance, no savings.

I have two kids, one is a senior in high school this year and wants to go to college. There isn't going to be a Christmas this year, only payments to the power company, the water company, the bank for the house payment.

I have been selling things around the house to help pay bills, but I think I've sold everything I can right now.

I am hoping there is someone out there who can help me out, to help me with Christmas this year, or maybe it can be an electric bill payment. Any donation would be so greatly appreciated! I am not the kind of person to beg, but I was surfing around the net today and found this site, and thought it would be a last resort to find some kind of help. My heart is so sad right now, and I really don't know what I'm going to do.

Thank you for reading this, and thank you for your kindness.

I am a college freshman pursuing a journalism major. I am trying to purchase my first car as a means to increase my availability for story assignments and paper production for the newspaper as well as my availability for my new job in which my hours are extremely limited (less than 7 a week).

I am very restricted in how I can assist on the paper, spend my time at school, and how often I can work seeing as I have to resort to scheduling around whenever I can get a ride to where I need to be. Lately, this has resulted in me having to leave up to an hour and a half early from class to be able to get home (I don't live anywhere near a bus line or mass transit system). If I can't be there to work on the paper I lose my chance at landing an editor's position and therefore any tuition waivers. If I consistently need to leave school early, my education will suffer. If my work hours are restricted due to car sharing/carpool arrangements, I won't have the financial means to make bill payments or save any money.

My parents have refused to assist me in buying a car and since I have gotten hired have severely cut down on how much they are willing to financially assist me despite knowing I have very limited hours at work.

I know I'm not the most needy person asking for donations and I am grateful for having a job but I feel that acquiring a car will greatly increase my educational and work potential which will yield in long-term benefits. Keep in mind what comes around goes around, give to someone and you will get something in return. I greatly appreciate it. Thank you.

I am a 33 year old man maried with three kids. I'm an honest hard working guy just trying to support my family and teach my children to always do the right thing.the problem is I am having a problem making ends meat. I have a 2003 ford taurus that is fully paid for with over 100,000 miles on it. The car is on its last thread and I do not have money to fix it. I'm trying to see if anyone who has the means might be able to help me buy a new or used minivan. Thank in advance for all your help.

My husband and I were married on February 14, 2010. We are completely in love and were high school sweethearts. We are a young couple, only 24 years old. We are expecting our first child in November.

We moved to Cleveland May 1st so that my husband could start school at Ohio Tech. I transferred pharmacy school from Toledo to Cleveland State University, and I was also working at home for a prescription benefit provider so I had the luxury of moving my job with me to Cleveland.

The move to Cleveland took a lot of time and money. So much, that we didn't have any money left to actually rent a place that was decent, so we ended up settling for a house in a horrible neighborhood that needed LOTS of cleaning and work, just so we wouldn't have to pay a deposit and also so the rent would be cheap. We thought since we had my job, we'd be able to get the house in working order quickly. The house has bad plumbing and the carpets were filthy. Dogs had run rampant in the house and defecated all over. We had to pull up all the carpets and start working on the plumbing.

The plumbing was so old, when one pipe was repaired another started leaking. The hot water pipes were the worst, so we still have no hot water to this day. We ran out of money the end of May because I lost my job working from home, as many people were laid off. We have no toilet because both toilets are jam-packed with someone else's waste and we can't afford a plumber to remove the toilet waste so we can get them running again. My husband and I have been using the restroom in plastic bags and buckets that we dump in holes we dug in the backyard. It sounds unbelievable, but I can't make this stuff up.

Additionally, for about a month there, we had no vehicle because as soon as we moved to Cleveland, the alternator on our Ford Explorer went out and a neighbor with a drug problem stole the car keys, but I was finally able to trade with someone on craigslist for a running minivan about a week ago--so now I have the ability to drive down to the store to use the restroom.

We still have no hot water. My husband and I take cold showers and everytime we shower, water pours into the basement. The conditions are bad for my husband and me, especially me, since I am pregnant.

We have sold everything we had. I have finally started to obtain unemployment --100 dollars a week-- and I receive food stamps, but I am struggling. Rent is due, which is 275 dollars, and I only have about 50 bucks left out of the check I got today from the UI office.
My husband and I are facing eviction and homelessness.

If I didn't have to come on this site to beg for help I wouldn't. I have never relied on help from others. This is my first time being on public assistance/welfare and I hate it with a passion. I feel dirty going to food pantries. I'm white driving a nice minivan so I get looks like I shouldn't be there, and on the inside I know why I'm there and it kills me.
We've been looking for jobs but no one is hiring us.
The life we are living is terrible and not what we expected when we got married. This should be a happy time in our lives.

If you can help me out at all, with ANYTHING... please--it would be so very appreciated. I am desperate.
Thank you.
