In October 2024, my son and I were both laid off from our jobs. We’ve been non-stop seeking employment and managing to survive on savings and selling plasma. My son recently started working at a job that is approximately 27 miles from where we live in rural Texas. Uber, Lyft, and public transit are not options here. We were happy that we were finally getting somewhere and making at least small progress. The other day, our vehicle wouldn’t start. We assumed it was the battery and managed to borrow enough money to replace it, only to find that it is not the battery. Possibly the alternator, but no way to know for certain at this time.
He had to put in for a personal leave of absence in order to protect his job, but we are severely out of funds at this point. We don’t have a way to get anywhere to buy groceries, to get to work, or to even get the car into a mechanic to have someone take a look. We are at our wits’ end and just need a little bit to get either a new used car or get the one we have repaired. Any little bit would help at this point.
Thank you in advance. If you can’t donate, please share this on all of your social media so that someone else might be able to help. We greatly appreciate it.
