Overview

I am a 52- year-old medical transportation driver and I have to use my personal vehicle for work. I took my vehicle to a transmission shop for a repair. In the process of making the repair, the shop drove my car and got into an accident totaling the vehicle. Because I was still making payments on the car, the insurance money went to the finance company and now I am without a vehicle and I have no money to put down for a new one.

My goals are to stay employed and continue to support and take care of my family. In order to do this I need a car to maintain my employment as my work is driving clients to their medical appointments.

I need help to make a down payment on a used vehicle. I have found a car dealership with very affordable down payment options . I have been able to save $500 to put towards the down payment. I need $1200 total for a down payment on the car have found.

Meeting this need will help me because getting the car will ensure that I am able to maintain my job and support my family. I have had this job for three years and I love helping people who are not able to get around on their own and showing them kindness and respect. If I can get this car, I will be able to keep doing the work that I love.
