Need Automobile

I need a car to get a job. And I can't get a job until I get a car for transportaion. I live in a very small town, and would have to drive 35 miles to the big town, where I know I would have no problem getting employment. There is no public transportation. My ex-husband left my good credit rating in ruins. I have no place to turn. I need help.....

The following article is by a lease company on the value and legitimacy of the "paid to drive" cars advertised through the internet and on television.

Because of the medical bills accruing we had to cancel our bankruptcy and they repossessed out auto. I work almost an hour away from out home and that is where my doctors are also. I dont know what I am going to do when I can get back to work as there is no public transportation to that area.If I loose my job we will then become homeless also.I am looking for assistance with a compact used car with an automatic transmission so I can get to work and doctors. I am not looking for anything new or pretty, just some thing reliable. If it is Gods will you will be ab;le to assist us.

Thanks You

Need help with mortgage and car repair

November 03, 2008

My husband and I had to file for a Chapter 13 bankruptcy in June 2008. We had fell behind on the mortgage and the Mortgage Company (Homecomings Financial) would not work with us. We did not want to lose the house. After paying the $1650 required by our Attorney (New York State) we were able to file. Our Trustee payments were $850. After making the July and August payments to the trustee we realized that we were also susposed to make the mortgage payments on our own. We were under the impression that the mortgage payment was included in the trustee payment. We did start making the payments at the beginning of September. However, the mortgage company and bankruptcy court are demanding that we get current over a three month period. The three monthly payments may not be within our budget, since we will be paying the double of what we owe.


These are the three monthly payments


November 30, 2008 $1,858.27-this may be lower since the lawyer doesn't have record of a $500 payment I made in the beginning of October. I have the money order to prove it.


December 31, 2008 $1501.78


January 31, 2009 $1,951.78-this includes $450 attorney fees


February 2009 750.89 this is the normal monthly payment and includes the escrow.


If we get help with the November payment it will give us time to get the money for the other payments.


Eventually I am going to have to have my transmission rebuilt. My Sun Shell is breaking and eventually, even though the car is running now-when it breaks I won't be able to drive in reverse and soon drive al all. The best price I can get so far is $1500 unless one of our friends can do it cheaper. I can also get a used transmission for cheaper and find somebody to put it in. I also can just use the $1500 as a for a used car.


While my husband and I are putting money aside each payday into the joint account, we have other bills that must be paid they, including that November payment are listed below:


Trustee due on the 27th each month $855

Mortgage November 31 payment $1,858.27

Electric bill due November 21, 2008 $225

Heating Oil $500


Any help is appreciated. If 100 people can donate $50 that will be more than enough. I can pay this money back over time. I will be able to pay back at least $50 a week and still keep track on bills.


I can take paypal donations, in case the donate button does not work, here is my paypal address: mlmbizgirl2000@yahoo.com


Note: I will keep you updated on individuals who donate plus what I do by myself


Nov 03, 2008


I have $100 in my savings account

$200 I have in my dentist account that I have access to

$60 in my online money market account-this goes up each week as I add money to it.

$300 that I can use from my 401k (after tax contributions)

$700 that I can withdraw from my 401k (pre tax contributions)

$250 in our joint account-this goes up each week as we put into it.


Of what money I have available I need approximately $1800-3300 more and we will be good.



Thank you.

About SHIREE

My mom is 73 years old, suffers from severe problems realted to spinal stenosis. She also has a chemical imbalance with a learning disability.   She lives alone and must visit the doctor and exercise (swim) regularly in order to help her remain somewhat mobile.  She has a car with more than 200,000 miles on it, and lives on 600.00 a month. Her car is unsafe and she is afraid of going anywhere.She sits alone in her home, afraid to go anywhere and this is not good for her mental or physical state.  Because of the current financial situation, I can only help her a little with food, and sometimes her appointments.  She can still outswim me, but She is is desperate need of a working car that is safe.  She is applying for government help, but if anyone in MI knows someone willing to donate a car that runs well and can make it through a MI winter, please let me know.  I will be forever thankful.

My name is Dianne Williams. I am well traveled, studying with the Oshogbo artists in Nigeria, dialoging with the Africans in South America in the Rain Forest of Surinam, and in 1998, moving to a flower garden in Baja California, Mexico for four years to focus on writing. I usually stand alone, but this time I need help. I pinched together a few bucks and bought 89 Volvo wagon after my beloved Honda broke down. Thinking I would at least be able to get on the road and look for a job to save for a more current car. Well, to my dismay the handcontrals on my Volvo, needs a special part, which will cost nearly $1000. I follow the advice of my creative muse: “Don’t worry about growing old, worry about staying new.” However, it is hard to stay new when you’re a paraplegic without a car. I was pushed off the road six months ago. I feel like my wheelchair has flat tires. It is beginning to affect my mental state. Can you help me travel up the road? Anything will help, even a loan will do! Big Love, Dianne

We just lost our only automobile

We just lost our only car. We were stuck on the interstate with the granddaughter who is 8 months for hours..then had it towed at a costly price just to find out that it will cost us about $2000 to get it fixed. We don't have that kind of money. We haven't even been able to make the house payment for July and it is time to pay the August house payment. We need about $5000 to get the car fixed and make both house payments. We could use more than that because I am unable to work at this time due to having shoulder surgery in April and having colon problems now that may require surgery.

Starting over.

Hello, thank you for visiting. I will accept help in any form you have. I am trying to start my life all over again. It has been bad and worse for many years now. I was diagnosed with mental illness about 10 years ago. Then I lost my four boys. My husband filed for divorce shortly after. Not being able to maintain employment has put me into a lot of debt. My physical health has suffered due to lack of proper medical treatment. I have been able to receive mental health treatment from a county clinic. After many medication changes I am finally at a point where I can start putting my life together again. I have been looking for any kind of job. I think because of my poor work history, employers are reluctant to hire me. What do I need you ask? Well, everything. That is why I will accept any help or suggestions you might have. Thanks for staying and reading my message.

I would also like to hear anything you want to say. Jokes, gossip, how tos, or internet pal. Not dating.

Later

I need help fast!

I have a very sincere and I am in need of help. I am a single father of 3 children that literally went to from riches to rags. I had a heart attack and things have been going downhill from there. My wife has left me with our three beautiful children and now I am without a vehicle thanks to her. i feel very fortuneate to have them she is the ultimate loser in this situation. My credit is poor and I need some help in obtaining transportation. I have finally landed a great job I am suppose to start the middle of the month, but without a car I don't know what's going to happen. I will be able to afford a monthly payment in the upcoming weeks, but I hope you can see my situation. I need someone or someway to get a second chance on financing a car. I have been to all the websites and car dealers with no luck. They all want at least $2000 down I just don't have right now. I have no one to help me as I am on my own. If there is anyone that can help or knows someone that can could you please respond ASAP! I am not asking for charity I just need a helping hand until I am back on my feet.

God Bless!

I am not sure how this works, but desperate times call for desperate measures.  Story goes....I am a single mommy, divorced, and BROKE.  I've done well for myself; I've gone through college and have a good career...problem is my divorce left me with nothing.  He took everything but my son - thank God.  My son is in private school, and I am forced to pay that bill as well in order for him to get a good education - no idea where the father is.  I live on my own and struggle to "just get by".  The only problem is that I am without a car to take my son to school, get groceries, and take myself to school. My ex destroyed my credit, otherwise, I would finance this on my own.  I have been paying for cabs for the last 2 months and now I can barely afford anything else.  I have prayed and prayed for a solution and I will continue to do so.

Please help us.

Hi, my name is Tom. My wife and I are going through some problems right now, and could use a little help. I have been diagnosed with Myasthinia Gravis last year, and two weeks ago had a small stroke. I am out of work for now. My wife, six months ago was diagnosed with MS. She is working, but its hard. We are two months behind on the mortgage, and one year behind on taxes, along with regular bills. Inmy 53 years, this is the first time I asked for help. I need help until I can get back to work in about one month. I appreciate any help, including prayers. Thanks to all.

I am a single mom with low income seeking grants for various reasons.  I am 31 and am wanting to return to college full time to further my education and career.  I am also like so many other americans and suffer from debt and looking to clean up my debt to gain respectable credit so I may one day be able to buy a home of our own.  I would like to also one day be able to have my own business so after working so hard can have more time and money to support my son.  My son and I would also like to adopt a child so that he may have a sibling, and I can help another child grow up in a loving environment.
