Please help me pay my car off.....

NYSI, New Jersey



Everyone in life has a story to tell... Here is mine. In 2008, I started working for one of the largest engineering conglomerates in the world. It was a complete fluke that I landed this job...but I was happy that I did. Granted, the position didn't sound glamorous (Field Service Coordinator), but the pay was fantastic....even if it DID mean I had to commute 4 hours, round trip. I gave it my all there....came early, stayed late, always did overtime. After about two years there, I decided that it was time to get a new car. I ended up purchasing a leftover 2010 Chevrolet Malibu. I like the car - a lot - but since I traded in a little subcompact that had yet to be paid off (MY stupid mistake), the remaining balance of the loan was rolled into the price of the new car. Shortly after I purchased the new car, my company started eliminating or relocating positions. My position was sent to Chicago (I am a resident of NJ). I was never offered the opportunity to transfer, and even if I was, I wouldn't have been able to go, due to family obligations. I worked several temporary jobs, before landing the full-time job that I have now. And while I thoroughly enjoy my new job, as well as the much shorter commute, I'm not enjoying the rate of pay. Especially when my car payment eats a good chunk of my salary. After paying rent, my car payment, my car insurance, my medical insurance, my internet, and my cable/phone, I'm left with $42 a month to buy gasoline and food with. I've tried to sell my car...but I owe more than what it's worth. And I really don't want to get into another car payment if I don't have to, even if it IS cheaper. So...that is why I'm here. I'm hoping that someone may be able to help me pay down this weight on my shoulder. Be it $1 towards it, or the full payoff (close to $14K), it would make my life just a little bit easier. If you would like to help me, please drop me an e-mail. I promise that I'm a real person. Thanks! -S

Mother and Son in need of help.

Phmow, New Jersey



Hello and thank you for reading this. I'am asking for help here because I don't know where to turn anymore. My dear mothers car had broke down about six month's ago and I'am trying to help her out to buy something reliable. My personal health is very bad also and we are finding out that the medical bills are just about unaffordable. I have two part time jobs and don't make that much money at all. I have major medical problems that I have been battling since 1987. Chronic Hives which their still is no cure for. Just two month's ago I was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis which is an Auto Immune Sickness that they also have no cure for. I have major Thyroid problems which I take 100 mcg of Synthroid but are unable to afford my medication. I also now have a big problem with my Bladder, Kidney, and Prostate because of the steroid medication I'am on for my Hives. The medication has caused me to have inflammation of my prostate gland. We are trying very hard to save every cent for a reliable auto so that I will be able to go to the many doctors I need to see. My dear mom also has very high blood pressure and is currently on three different medications to keep the pressure within range. We are asking you to please donate a few cents or whatever you feel comfortable with to help a mother and son out in this sad time that we are in. Thank You all for your kindness!
