Story
A devoted and loving caregiver is seeking support with a past-due car payment that is placing her family at risk of losing their only vehicle. She is the mother of a sixteen-year-old son and the full-time caregiver to her two young nephews, ages four and three. Due to a series of recent surgeries, she has required ongoing care, which her husband has been providing—forcing him to pause his job search and putting additional strain on their household finances.
Although a caretaker is now able to assist with her recovery and her husband is actively seeking employment, reliable transportation remains critical. The family currently resides in Section 8 housing and receives utility assistance, but they have fallen behind on their car payments. Without immediate support, their vehicle may be repossessed.
The caregiver is disabled and uses a wheelchair, and access to dependable transportation is essential for attending frequent medical appointments. A working vehicle would also allow her husband to commute to work, which is vital for restoring the family’s financial stability.
The past-due balance on the car is $583. Covering this amount would prevent repossession and provide much-needed security and independence for this family. Any support toward this goal would be deeply appreciated and would have a lasting impact on their health, mobility, and overall well-being.
