Your Plano Texas or Collin County community action agency could be a good place to call for car repairs and help with rent and utilities. Find an extensive listing of Plano Texas assistance programs. The Plano - Collin County community action agency can be called at (903) 872-2401.

We do have some information on how to get free car repairs. Usually a local church is a good source, but there are some national organizations. Find details on car repairs from charities.

Is that Arkansas that you live in? Many agencies and government programs operate in counties, cities, and regions across Arkansas, and may have rent help, utilities, debt counseling, and other low income housing programs. they can often help with utilities too. Car repairs more challenging to get, but call and ask. Find how to get help in Arkansas with paying expenses and various bills. We also have information on food programs in Arkansas too, like food banks.

While I hate to say it, car repairs are more difficult to get help with. But we will give you some information and guidance, and maybe it will help. Call your local community action agency or non-profits in Michigan. Use this link for help in Michigan, and scroll midway down the page and select your county.
This resource will also bring you some generic information on where to get a used car from (sometimes for free) or maybe free automobile repairs too. Sometimes a car is offered if someone needs it work work. Free cars and repairs

Car repairs are not as common. I think a few things or potential solutions. One is call some churches in your area and ask if they are aware of garages or mechanics who do repairs on a volunteer basis. Another is call local community action agency. Ask same questions. In addition, there may be a couple nation programs to look into for car repairs. Click here for programs such as the The Car Ministry Program 703-278-9299 as well as Auto Repair Good Guys Foundation 866-747-1331

Well fixing cars is not a common assistance programs out there. Maybe the best palce to call is your local community action agency. So if there is a program, it is usually for fixing a car for a work or employment related issue, which sounds like your situation. So get more information on car repairs for free, some tips and tricks, and some general advice and support. Salvation Army, Catholic Charities, community action agency, and a few other places are probably the best places to call. Even try 1800 charity cars.

Based on or research, it looks like there are two different ways or methods to become a Mortgage Broker in California. Google for these two different methods to pull up extensive information. The first process involves the California Department of Real Estate (DRE), and the second is California Department of Corporations, based on the California Finance Lenders Law (CFL). Google for these agencies and mortgage broker licenses, as there is extensive info out there on these approaches.

Many of the web sites that purport to have information really share very little of anything and some are just plain frauds. I'd like to find information on mortgage broker training and possibly information on finding a school (preferably Los Angeles) where I can get training on becoming a mortgage broker.

It looks like 1800 charity cars only provides cars, and not repairs. And apparently they have a terribly long waiting list. I have a ford and the mechanic wants $700 to fix and replace the brakes. Seems like the government or someone else would offer aid or grants for auto repairs. After all I do need my car to get to work. Anyone?
