A devoted and resilient caregiver—who has legal custody of her 11-year-old grandson—is in urgent need of support for additional auto repairs. With the help of OhioKAN, most of the initial repair costs are being covered; however, once the shop (Milex/Mr. Transmission) began working on the vehicle, they discovered an additional issue: the valve cover gaskets need to be replaced, totaling $264.00. This unexpected expense was not part of the original estimate, and unfortunately, cannot be covered by OhioKAN’s already-approved amount of $2,018.36.
This caregiver is navigating an overwhelming season of life. Alongside managing her own serious health condition—Congestive Heart Failure—she is also coping with the heartbreaking and recent loss of her nephew, who was tragically murdered. She is now planning travel to Maryland to attend his funeral, further stretching her emotional and financial capacity.
Despite everything she’s facing, she continues to show up for her grandson with love and determination. Any additional support to help cover this unexpected car repair would be deeply appreciated. Her vehicle is currently at the shop receiving the approved repairs, but she will need to return it soon to address the valve cover gasket issue.
Your kindness and assistance would mean the world to her during this incredibly difficult time.
