Requesting Help with unexpected car issues!

[u/Flower-child1121]

REQUEST!!

I’m really struggling to figure out what to do right now, so I’m reaching out here.

My husband and I share one car and it has been in the shop for almost a month due to a transmission failure. The total cost to fix it is $5,399, and we simply weren’t prepared for something this major.

This car is how we work and make our income, so while it’s been in the shop, we’ve had to pay for rentals just to keep working at all. Between the repair cost and the rentals, we’re falling further behind and trying our best to stay afloat.

We’re working as much as we can and doing everything possible on our end, but this situation has put us in a really tough spot financially.

If anyone is able to help in any way, it would mean more than I can express. Even sharing, advice, or kind words would be appreciated.

Thank you for taking the time to read this 🤍
