Application Details

Car Needed Brakes; Now I Need Rent | Cost to fully fund this application: 1,055.00 Modest Needs Points

The figure above includes the cost of fulfillment.

I own a 99 Honda accord. My brake system recently failed. I live further out than the bus line stops, and find that my car is my only means of transportation. The complete job for only required repairs to drive the vehicle were $965. I am also a single mother with a 4-year-old son who I take to school/daycare each day. I took the car in because of odd sounds to my brakes, and came home crying when the whole ordeal was over.

I also attend school and have evaluated taking on additional hours, but there is no one to watch my son. I would appreciate your help in anything you do. I understand this is you hard-earned money that you choose to help people like myself with, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Testimonial

This person has left the following thank you note:

Thank you so much for your help. I've always seen the good in people but as I have lived and experienced some of the things that the world has to offer I began to loose hope. Hard times have come and gone and it has impacted my faith, the faith I have for a higher being and in people. You helped me and you don't even know my name. I thank you so much, you've given me more than help with my rent but you've restored me faith. Thank you! You've done more for me than you'll ever know.
