#085 - A Plea For Help
Hey guys,
I don't normally ask this, but with everything that has gone on in the last few months, I feel I need to turn to you guys for help.
Just to recap... Dad took the car to the mechanic the other day and the mechanic, after looking at it, said that it would cost at least $1500 to repair (for reference, the car is only worth about $500)
Not only did the drive shaft get bent, but apparently, when the accident occurred, the engine was moved about 2 - 3 inches towards the drivers side of the car, one of the engine mounts is twisted, and another nearly snapped completely off.
Now normally, I wouldn't be asking you guys for something like this, but, as I do look after both my aging parents (whose health is failing and both cannot walk for longer than about 15 minutes before having to rest up for the remainder of the day), and due to the location I am in, we need a car to get around in.
I'm just throwing it out there to see if anyone is able to help us out in raising some money towards a new car. We are looking at a 2nd hand one that is $1300 but coming up with that sort of money on short notice is quite hard.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, or if you know anyone that could help, feel free to link them to this journal.
Thanks in advance.
Many hugs,
~Frank
