We have a mother having major hardships at the moment. Her vehicle has broken down and this is making it nearly impossible to get to work and is hindering visiting with her children. Uber and Lyft is costing her a fortune and it's hard for her to keep up with everything. This mother is living pay-check to pay-check and isn't getting easier for her. This has caused her to miss family time with her children, which isn't like her. She has reached out to us pleading for whatever help she can get. A mechanic has told her that it will cost upwards $800 to fix her vehicle. With paying rent and everyday necessities she has been unable to reach that amount. The mechanic says the engine has completely gone out. She does have another vehicle the same model as the one she has now that is down due to a wreck she had. The engine in that one is fine and the mechanic advised her that that engine could be put in her current vehicle but $800 is the best price she has been given. This mother only seeks help, it doesn't have to be cash, just possibly someone that help get her vehicle up and going again. So if anyone fixes vehicles or knows someone that does she would appreciate that greatly. She is devastated that she has had to miss seeing her children when she is unable to afford or get a ride to family time. Any help from the community would benefit her in so many ways.

A family of 3 is in need of help. The family is currently working services while their 2 year old is staying with friends. The family is struggling to not only be able to see their child, but also to make it to appointments and to work as their car is unreliable and they do not have the funds to fix it. Mom is pregnant and is working to help support her and her children while Dad is also looking for a job. Bus passes for these parents would not only help them make it to the appointments for their pregnancy, but also to work so they can continue receiving care and services and so they can see their kiddo while they work on getting her back home. Please help this family get back on their feet and support them in their time of need.
