Needhelppayingbills

I am currently struggling to pay an auto repair bill. I lost my job due to lack of transportation but once I get my car back I can work again. If you could please send me more information on maybe a program that could help it would be great thanks. I am a 26 year old female and I have no family due to their abuse with drugs. I live in Washington State Kitsap County. Thanks and hope you can help.

I need help with repairing my one and only vehicle. I was in an accident July 11th and have NO money to get it fixed. I live in SANFORD, FLORIDA. If there is ANY places that help with these kinds of things, please, please, email me with information. I have 2 kids and one of which has LOTS of medical appointments and he even has surgery next month.

Hello, I'm very uncomfortable about asking but I'm in really bad need - it's my living quarters. A few months ago I set my awning up and I wasn't familiar with the winds here and that very day the winds came up so bad, 80 mph, it literally tore off my AWNING completely! The repair man said to put it back up and thank God He can because that saves me money, its $500. But the material is like another 900 then labor. I'm in a small coastal town in southern Oregon, Brookings, so I limited to the one guy. The other shop is double expensive!
But that's not the worst, the killer is this morning I woke up and went outside to check on the little free bunny that hops around and made itself up a little home underneath. Well He was gone and I could see why. Poor bunny. The whole bottom somehow broke and there’s leaks everywhere under there so I gather it is the water tank busted and somehow broke through in lots of holes dripping water like crazy! My manager said the whole bottom needs to be replaced plus go in and fix the busted leak. Could be just a pipe but you have to rip it all apart to get to it. A big ordeal and a mess. I don't even know if I can still sleep in here.
Then to top it off I noticed my front left hydraulic jack lifted itself up which is strange. I can't get it back down. That has never happened.
This is a good vehicle! Just 25K and a Ford Truck. So I turned the engine on to put the jack back down and there was this awful high pitched ear killing sound. So I went to go look to where it was coming from and it was from inside where the propane tank is. So I opened it up and there's a smaller tank and I saw burning fumes coming up from it. So I ran inside to turn the engine off and it stopped. The tank said something fluid. Can't figure it out. So my manager said there must be a leak and the hydraulic fluid is out? So that has to be fixed. I'm in a mess of a problem.
I have used up all my savings on relocating and other repairs and the huge gasoline and hauling my car. I used to work and earn $1800 a month until I got badly hurt and couldn't work anymore and my doctor put me on SS. I now live on $1000 a month! I used to live in a normal apartment but can’t afford that way of living anymore. With my savings I got this RV and moved up here. It's only been since April 2016! And now it's April. I don't have a mom who can’t afford to help me plus she’s 77 and needs her SS too!
This is causing me to get in great debt and I am very much in need for any help please. I'm now 8000,00 in debt to visa due to living expenses, clothing, gasoline, groceries, rent, basic needs, move in fees, etc., nothing out of the ordinary. And now this. ASAP please I need help. I will and am now in advance forever Grateful for anything you can help me with. I feel very uncomfortable asking for help but I don't know what else to do. This is my home for my 2 cats and my little dog. I'm on 44, but On disability.
I've helped out many people in need and as often as I can, but now I guess I need help in a big fast way. I'm making a very bad mess here where I'm living. I don't want to get in trouble. It actually looks like someone (I know nobody did) went underneath my RV with a BB gun and shot all sorts of tiny holes all over under there.
Thank you so much and please call me.

Usually the car repair work / labor component can be done by free. But you will still need to buy any parts. But maybe a mechanic can direct you to a local junkyard. Or maybe a store has a sale coming up.
Now it is hard to find these volunteer mechanics. Check with a church. Or maybe the Salvation Army. Those are a couple places to start. Also, look here for additional free car repair programs.

Did you try our resource list for car repairs? It is here.

We are shocked you were able to get over $1200 already from churches. You should be so grateful to them. You should have never bought a 9 year old Kia as well...or 9 year old car period. Of course they will need repairs, in particular a Kia which is not highly rated. Anyway, try our list for assistance. Also cut back on expenses, move in with family/friends, etc. and save money for car needs.

I'm a 58 year old single female, living on SSDI of $1114/month.
I am in dire need of $326.13 + $90 for car repairs. I bought a used 2003 Kia Sedona mini-van Sept 2012, from private owner.
I have had several car repair bills accumulated since 3 months since I bought this lemon.
Two months ago, I tapped out the churches for another car repair of $391 for repairs. Within the first 3 months of owning this van, I tapped out all the churches in my area for $900 needed for catalytic converter repairs. And there have been several more repairs I have paid for myself, by shuffling rent and other bills. My link card amount was reduced to $5/month.
This vehicle has been a nightmare, yet I am in a bind, because I can't save any money to purchase another used vehicle, because I'm spending all my money and the churches' monies on repairs.

Obviously car repair programs are very rare. Sometimes a mechanic may volunteer their time, but the client needs to pay for parts. Or there are Salvation Army programs or church run groups. In almost all cases, the repairs will need to be very minor in nature. Any major work will not be covered, but try this to find car repair assistance programs.

Hi,
I have a vehicle that the fuel pump has died on. I am currently in transition between jobs and have fell on financial hardship for the time being. I am starting a sales position that will take off very soon but in order for that to happen, I need my car in working order. I live in an apartment without access to a garage or a place to work on my vehicle. All I need is someone to help me get a new fuel pump installed.
Once I have the car running, I will be able to start making money and I would be willing to donate money to whatever charity that helped me once the cash flow started again. I am even willing to sign a contract showing that I will donate. I just need a little immediate assistance and I would be eternally grateful. I currently live in Denver Colorado. Please let me know exactly what can be done.
Thank you!

I am here in Grinnell Iowa and me and my boyfriend came here to visit and our car broke down a now we are stuck here. We are trying to find jobs. But it's hard to do with no car. His family won't help with nothing, or help us repair it.
My family, which is in Texas, has been helping for the last week or so but I can't get no more help from them on. We are going to be sleeping on the streets. How do I go about getting a motel voucher for where we have been staying for the last 3 days until we can come up with the money for his car repair? Please contact me ASAP at this email.

I live in Wayne county TN with my wife and four children. For the past couple years has been really hard on us. I have lost our house, two cars and am being sued by 2 different collection agencies right now. We have an outrageously high amount of medical bills, our light and water bill has been barely paid before disconnection for a long period of time and it goes on.
My youngest son arrived on 9/7/15 and my middle just turned 2 on 6/3/15 and they both have had extensive stays in Vanderbilt medical hospital.
My newborn was 6 weeks premature and my 2 year old had an abscessed lymph node where he had to have surgery and stayed for about a month and at the time the car we had didn't have no heat and had major front end problems so we took everything we had with our taxes and purchased a what we thought was our dream come true. It as a dependable vehicle and no more carrying a pile of blankets to stay warm and air to stay cool and we had something that we could get them to the hospital or ER and actually be able to get back and forth and then to work. We need our automobile.
But after 3000 miles the transmission has went out and it gets hot if it idles no longer than the light to turn green at a stop but I could continue for a while and I'm not trying to make anybody feel sorry for me.
I'm on my knees and am going ask if please if there is anyway in the world that I could get some help to possibly fix it or maybe a grant to put towards a trade or anything. I'm begging. I need these repairs, but can't pay, so need them for free.
I don't want pity from nobody for me but I'm broken due to the fact I'm a man of faith and a devotion to my family that cannot be rivaled and they have suffered because I couldn't find a permanent job. Or I'd get laid off or can't find to find one but please I'm begging for some help to acquire a dependable car where I can find a permanent job. It would then be able to live a life without the worry of poverty. Please again, if you can please contact me. Thank you for your time in reading this.

Amador County, which is where Jackson is located, is very rural. Not sure if any agency will help with repairs or fixing the transmission. But you can ask. Maybe call the community action agency for referrals.

So maybe try them. Maybe they are aware of a junk yard to get the parts and some volunteer mechanics that will help install them.

Hi there,
I'm in desperate need of mechanical problems with my car, I'm low income and disabled. I'm making payments on the car, and I can barely do that. Now I'm having a lot of mechanical problems with it, it's all I have for transportation to my therapy and doctors appointments. I have tried to find any help on the Internet with no luck, I'm afraid to drive my son to school and that's only barely 3 miles one way.
My front end is making really scary noises, I have been to a few mechanics and the cost to fix is about $1000.00 that I don't have. Nor can I get. My front right ball joint is rattling like crazy, and I found out the shocks are the original shocks and they are really bad. I would get rid of it, but since buying it the value is less then half the loan amount. So I'm stuck paying for a car that hardly runs, and have no $ to get all it needs fixed to make it safe. I have been to more them 4 mechanic shops to try and find out why it runs so bad, I trusted a few and paid for a few repairs. The problem is it still runs bad, I don't qualify for the lemon law.
It's a 2004 car, used so no lemon law for used. I haven't had it a year yet, I have taken it back to the dealership I bought it from. They fixed a couple things, but refuse to fix the major problems, basically I got screwed. Used is as is purchase, so there not liable for fixing it. The car is haunted, or a lemon. And I'm stuck paying for it, please I beg of you is there any program or charity etc. that mite be able to help me? I'm going to be moving by end of summer, my health problems because me too much pain where I live. The car is desperately needed, and to know its not going to break down on me would be an awesome feeling. I would get rid of it if I could, but I can't and I have no other way of fixing it or replacing it.

I'm a single mom that is homeless and without an income. I have a truck but it needs a few things. Can
Someone please help me with the cost of those repairs? Bobs tire $652.75, Ernie's salvage 2 inside door
Handles $20 each, 2 electric power window motors $35 each, driver side rear glass $40, tags $30 1 year,
Inspection $12-$14, state farm insurance 6 month $162.00. Thank you for your Help..

My car I bought broke down on me two weeks after I bought it. The mechanic fixed the car without giving me a quote now I have to pay $2400 to get it back. I had to drop out of my classes and miss a lot of job interviews. I really need my car.
I'm a single mother of two and it took me 5 years to get money for the car. I really need my car back if I'm going to make it. Please if anyone could help you will be saving me from much stress and worry that I would lose all that money I spent on the car so far. Need help fast. The more it stays at the shop the more he's charging me for storing it.

I'm in major need of vehicle repair and don't have much money to pay for it as am behind on my bills I'm a single mother of four and about to be homeless, but I am in the process of getting help for finding a home. I was looking and hoping for some kind of grant or loan that I can get to fix my transmission on my Mercury mountaineer! Please help on some information of any sort that can point me in the right direction! Thank you so much in advance!!!!

I am permanently disabled and my cars power steering needs to be fixed. I don't have an extra 400.00 to fix it. I live on Social Security disability and I am afraid it is going to go out on me. I am the only family. My elderly parents have to check on them. I was told by the automobile place when I had my oil changed and the serpentine belt has a crack in it. That cost about S180. So if I can get assistance this would be wonderful. Thank you.

This vehicle has been a nightmare, yet I am in a bind, because I can't save any money to purchase another used vehicle, because I'm spending all my money and the churches' monies on repairs. I don't have good credit, so no car dealership or bank will give me a loan to help me.
My van was towed yesterday, 11/17//2014 when it wouldn't start while I was at the shopping center. I've been using a local mechanic, here in Chicago, IL. He knows the history of the car since I've owned it. He is very trustworthy and was highly recommended to me. He has also fixed my car, letting me take it before I got all the payments from the churches.
I live in Chicago, Il, which is in Cook County. My van needs a new starter. So with parts and labor, the total is $326.13.
Please, I need your help!

I live in Long Beach California. recently was involved in a vehicle accident (not at fault) and I had to pay for a rental car and gas and get the doctor. I also need to repair the car. Because of all this I am not able to pay my bills or get my truck out because the deductible is so high. I need assistance with rent ($1600 + 800 which is late), light bill ($207), water ($125), and my deductible ($500). Then I have to pay daycare for my kids ($407 and $147). I also recently found out one of my daughters has a mass on her brain. Hard times man.

I have a used vehicle I purchased about 2 months ago.
I had to take my vehicle to the shop for repairs and they are extensive repairs and exceeded the estimate I expected. I am needing assistance on helping pay for the repairs to my vehicle.
Please let me know if there is a location or organization in Yakima Washington area able to help.
