Story
A family of five is requesting assistance with vehicle repairs for a 2014 Ford Escape S. The mother was involved in an automobile accident shortly after purchasing the vehicle, and before it was registered. Due to the nature of the damage, the vehicle will not currently pass inspection and therefore remains unregistered. This has resulted in several traffic tickets as the family has been unable to pay to have the vehicle repaired, and it is the family’s only means of transportation. The family has received an estimate of $1,500 for the vehicle to be repaired in a mechanic shop. The father has indicated that he and his uncle are willing and able to repair the vehicle themselves if they are able to obtain the parts. This family has been working very hard to overcome obstacles and has recently begun a Trial Home Visit. The ability for them to repair their vehicle and have it properly registered will go a long way in reducing stress. Without reliable transportation, the family has difficulty taking their three young children to doctor’s appointments and school/daycare events. This family is humbly requesting support in the form of monetary or labor assistance from a mechanic. Photos of the damage can be provided if needed.
