I need a vehicle to pay for on payments

I am a diabled worker wracked with rhemotoid arthritis Emphyzema and post traumatic stress syndrome. I am a veteran. My daughter 3 years ago suffered a major and then massive heart attack at 34 years old so bad that her heart was damaged beyond control. She needed a heart transplant which she does now have, but the cost of staying with her by her side(and fuel costs going to and from) at the UWM hospital for all the months took a toll on my savings I am not complaining would do it all over again in a minute. I finally worked my way back up to a good used truck, I saved until I got a 400.00 beater then I saved every dime I could and sold my personal belongings and traded my 400.00 truck in for a 1200.00 truck I was so happy finally had a truck that I could safely drive it did not have 4 wheel which a person usually has in Wi. but I was very happy with it. Coming home the other day the tire blew threw me up against the guard rail hit ithe rail completely tore my right fender bent my frame damaged my door and ran right down the side of the pu. I am now without a vehicle I had liability on the vehicle so the guard rail will be covered but I am left without a vehicle and no means to replace it. I am not asking for a hand out I am asking if anyone out there has a used truck they would like to sell me on payments I will pay for whatever I get. I have worked my whole life sometimes 2 jobs at a time. I was frustrated and just typed into the computor I need help and this site came up like a god send. If you can help me out with this I thank you and will pay for it.

Wishing for an Angel to help

Hello, I am 26 yrs old, a mother of 3 children under 2 yrs old and I stay at home while my husband works. We have been struggling for the past 2 years, since we moved here to Missouri, and this year we are in desperate need of an Angel to here our cry for help. My husband might work 40 hrs +, and bring home a paycheck, but once it hits the bank, its all gone. We owe over $1,500 for rent, we are driving on expired tags and cannot get new tags due to it being in my husbands bankruptcy and his bankruptcy attorney has dropped his case, so its very hard to go to my WIC +appts and my childrens Dr. appts. Plus our car only fits 5 people in it and having 3 children all in their own +rcarseats, it is extremely rough. We just dont have the money to even put away to save for a bigger vehicle. Our food stamps have dropped tremendously and after shopping, the food/drinks only last maybe 2 1/2 weeks and we just dont have the money also to go to the store to get more. We are slowly widdling our bills down, but once the month hits that mark, all our bills go sky high and it seems like it wasnt even worth paying. I might be blabbering on and on, I might not make sense to all of you, im just so frusterated and depressed that i can not find online, an application for help. They all want you to make an appt with them, which I can not go to because of our car, I am just wishing an Angel would hear our prayers to help guide us, show us the way to get help for food, transportation (new/used vehicle), help with our bills (before we get evicted), clothes for our 2 yr old, 1 yr old & 2 month old, and possibly help with Christmas this year for our children, we cant even afford to get them anything. So please, if you are hearing our cry for help, Dear Angel, please, please, please, show us the way. Thank you & God Bless.

I can't help anyone until I get help with a Vehicle

Still no offers for help with a vehicle. Rather depressing. I guess I can't do my Adopt a Family in Crisis Programs anymore until I get a vehicle.

Need better transportation

I am on social security.($800) per month. I need a better vehicle. I own a 1985 Dodge pu. The transmission is weak and may quit any time. I can't afford the down payment or the monthly payment for a better vehicle. If I had between $6000 and $7000, I could purchase a better vehicle. I could go out and try to find a job and visit my kids. At this time, I am afraid to go very far. Thank you for your consideration. Jim

Anyone Know of Any Uncertified School loans?

Hi,

Does anyone know of any uncertified/noncertified school loans? These are loans that don't have to be certified by your university. My family and I are in desperate need of a vehicle, and I honestly planned on using an uncertified loan to buy a vehicle. I've already talked to my financial aid office and they told me that I couldn't take out anymore money. My family's only income is my mom's SSI (she's permanently disabled), so we cannot afford a vehicle on this income. We receive public assistance, and if anyone in the house is working they take away some of the federal money because they figure that whatever money comes into the house can replace the federal money that was being provided to us. Uh, no.....not true; any money that I bring into the house wouldn't be enough to replace the money from the assistance programs. Because I can't drive, I would only be able to walk to a local grocery store where I would only be making minimum wage. Ideally, I'd like to be able to drive so I can't a job in one of my fields of study (psychology and criminal justice).

Thank you very much for taking the time to read this :)

Want My Life Back

Hi! I am a widow, and I am also disabled and raising my 13 year old daughter. I currently live in Washington State. I do not go out much except to the doctor and grocery store when I am able. I am no longer able to walk very well due to back problems. I am in dire need of a vehicle.
I am unable to make payments on a reliable vehicle and my credit is not good due to previous financial problems and with the death of my husband 2 years ago it is difficult to make ends meet.

GROWING ECONOMY!!! (where?)

It's a freakin shame that we all come to aid page to put our issues out for all to see, in hopes some one will take an interest, and will lend a helping hand( BLESSING, is what I call it.), just to see that most of us all are losing our homes vehicles jobs, which leads to some of us losing our faith courage, and strength. I'm here to tell you(US) that keep your heads up hold on , and keep PRAYING! Give it to the man upstairs he has , and will take care of all our needs. Don't stop dreaming, and keep the FAITH! I know this for sure. My family, and I should have been evicted, and lost our only means of transportation, but for the ONLY reason (GOD) that we still have a roof over our heads, and a vehicle for my out of work(Automotive industry since 2008), Gulf Vet.husband to continue to send/take resumes to any, and all types of companies to gain some type of emploment. That brings us to "Growing Economy", that seems to GROW for upper class society. Did they (goverment) forget about us lower class families, who may, or may not have been middle class. We pay our taxes, work hard, just to lose it all? Thats the CHANGE? All I can say is WOW!!! For those of us strugglin to regain what we work for we have to lookout for one another, it's quite obvious that will have to be "THE CHANGE". Upper class looks out for upper class ONLY! Not HATING just think MID./LWR class should do the same. I return back to work soon,Thank GOD! I PRAY for US ALL that we wll find work, keep our homes,vehicles, respect, and dignity, and know there will be a BREAKTHROUGH, there will be a BLESSING just TRUST,BELIEVE,have FAITH, and PRAY! "The battle is NOT yours, nor mines alone, GIVE it to GOD let him take care of your troubles. GOD BLESS US ALL! Have a BLESSED DAY with LOVE to YOU ALL!

First time here, I'm not sure exactly how it works, but here I go. I sold my vehicle to move to Calgary, and the place that i was staying at, informed me that I cannot return to the place because of their own issues. So now I have no vehicle, no place to go back to, and I'm back where i started.I need to find a place in Calgary to live so I can chase my dream of being a wrestler. I moved to Calgary in January but had to come back to my hometown to help my mom move out, and to deal with my younger twin brothers and sister.  Also to add to the problems we're going through, we recently found out our place is going to be rented out to someone else, so in a few weeks, we will not even have a home here at all. My brothers and sister are now with their father (which was no easy feat to convince him to grow up and take his children in). Anyways, so now we have no vehicle to get us anywhere, no money to buy a vehicle or for rent at another place, and no one to really turn to. I hope someone has some advice or anything to help us out because we really have our backs against the wall. Thanks.

Can anyone help

Maybe someone out there has experienced the same thing that I have. First I'm not one to drag my feet. On the other hand sometimes I wish I were. Being stubborn and hardheaded did not help any in the situation either. I believe that marriage is the unity I think that when people get married they become one and they share their life together. Since I have been married I think things have gotten harder for me. First my husband has a very nice used car. He told me that he would give it to me because he was looking for a small truck and he didn't need two vehicles. The problem was he wasn't looking at all, he just said he was looking. He likes to drag his feet on everything. In the meantime I have no car, no way to get around anywhere, and it was like he wanted me to depend on him. I've learned in the past that you never count or depend on anyone except yourself. So being hardheaded I started looking for my own car. I wanted to show him that I didn't need to depend or count on him for anything. I found one that I thought was a good deal. I bought it from an auto auction so I did not get to test the waters first. After I paid all the money for it they brought it out and it was mine. At first I was very excited. I thought all it needed was a new battery. This car has been my nightmare. After I got the battery and started up I soon realized that the good deal was a lemon. With all my money gone I realized that the car needed a new engine. My husband and I have been fighting about this car ever since I got it. I think because he felt in control and could determine when I could have a vehicle, and I trumped him and got the car anyway without him checking it out. I haven't told him about the engine. I know I'm not going to tell him about the engine. If I told him about the engine I would never hear the end of it. So now I'm in the same situation as before with no car and now no money.

I am a 27 year old disabled/hearing-impaired single woman.  I'd really like to get a pair of digital hearing aids.  They'd improve my overall quality of life.  

I don't have many supports to rely on in my community for assistance with certain needs such as hearing aids, a vehicle, or sign language interpreters.  I live in a small town in rural northern MI and am working pretty hard to better myself and my situation, yet still feel as if there's a huge gap to overcome financially to get from where I am to where I'd like to be in order to really improve my quality of life.

I'm also here to offer assistance to any other people that may have questions about issues related to hearing impairment, sign language interpreters, etc. as well as anything else I might be familiar with.

To put this in a nutshell, as the title states I am desperately looking for a car!!

I am a single mother and had to give me car back to the finance company. It was either a roof over our heads or the car and of course I chose a roof over our heads. I though am now in a position where I cannot keep relying on people for rides or to use their car for a day because at some point I will not have that option and will not be able to make it in to work. I am only a temp at my company but have been there for over a year. If I miss even one day or come in late once then I will no longer have a job. If something happens with my son I have to rely and hope that someone else is available to take us to the doctors.

I am in college (online) trying to make a better future for my son and I but if I lose my job due to not having a car then we lose everything. I have tried taking the bus but cannot get my son to and from his sitter on time for me to get to work.. I have looked at all my other options and have no more that I can utilize.

I really need a decent reliable car, one that I do no have to constantly fix. I cannot afford to pay for one because we are pay check to pay check as it is.

This may be a shot in the dark but please.. If you have a car sitting there that is decent and safe.. Not a fix-it car, and would not mind giving it please let me know!! I have tried other options and am afraid that this is my last option.

You can call me or text me if you like.
Thank you!

Hello there and thank you for writing. I am a 29 year old female who has been struggling with many things in my life. My health, as I have a chronic medical condition, is not the greatest. I have a job as a server in a restaurant and no matter how much I work and how hard I work I just can't seem to make ends meet. I have a vehicle that is leaking gas. It has been leaking for quite some time now and its not only not safe it is wasting gas. Gas is expensive as it is without having a leaky gas tank. I have repaired my car so many times just to keep it running so that I can get to and from work but it is on its last leg. I have been online trying to find any sort of government agency or company that can help me get into a different and very much safer car. I have hit brick wall after brick wall. I have emailed local companies without a response. I don't know what else to do. I also have been trying to sift through these links on this page in hopes to find something that might be able to help me. I live in the Detroit Metropolitan area Michigan. I see a lot of links related to health and dental which I will use definitely but being in this car is killing me. Without a car, I have no way to get to work and without work I'll be back in a shelter which I really don't want to go back to. I lived in a shelter for about a month back in 06 and I never want to go back to that.
 
What I am asking is if anyone out there knows of a company that can either help me or lead me in the right direction. I will be more than happy to donate my car in return there are many parts on it that can be used.
 
Thank You all for listening =) Take Care and God Bless.

Wow. Night 3.

Back to that story of how my place flooded with sewage, I had to clean it up because the landlord is a shady bastard, and my pets and I got sick. 

Really sick. I almost choked to death in my apartment last week and had to call 911-- the place always had a problem with mold, but after the flood it got so bad that it became difficult to breathe in there-- for me, and almost every other person that visited. 

On the up side, I finally got my cats free vet care from the Downey Memorial clinic in Seattle, which operated out of a mission downtown twice a month. It was a real ordeal, but I really got them over $400 of life-saving vetrinary care. Both cats had an allergic reaction, but one lost more than half of his fur and became very ill. 

So, in any case, I'm glad to be alive. I also really need a lawyer in Seattle to take my case on contingency or pro bono. I've gotten a lot of advice on this, have lots of pictures and documentation, and have been advised that I really do have a VERY good case....particularly because I had Seattle city code compliance come in and discover that it was never meant to be an apartment. It was an office that was illegally converted. 

That, and I almost died in it. They actually rented this place to me, and to my best friend, who has an immune disorder. I am so glad he wasn't here when this happened. They rented this place knowing that it had flooded in excess of ten times for the previous tenant, and after he moved did not properly install new carpeting, or gut the walls. What happened was swept under the rug, and they passed it onto the next tennents. 

They acted like they were trying to find a reason to kick me out after the flood, and I was sick, and decided that my only option would be to move- even though I cannot afford it. It's not safe to be there. I went to the hospital three times over related problems. 

Now I am -homeless-, and my cats are stuck in a friends bathroom. I have never been in a situation like this before.

I really could use some help- legal help, financial help, help with housing, transportation, a vehicle, and/or a way to get back to New Orleans for a while (where I have a better support network ) . 

If anyone has some advice, I'm listening...
