I still feel very trapped in my circumstances with my car that needs work. I can't make any money unless my car is drivable. it needed a tire, a battery, a radiator, and an alternator because for whatever reason they all died at once. I got a tire and four or five days ago, I was taking the local bus and a homeless person asked me out of the blue if I wanted to buy a car battery--I told him I don't have money now, but he said, no problem, just pay me when I see you again if it fits--I said, what if it doesn't fit my car? He said, if it doesn't, don't worry about it. VERY strange because I needed a new battery at the time. I secured that and it has tested out good. I bought a radiator and have it in my car. Estimate to fix is $285. I still need an alternator which I can get from the junkyard for about $80. the mechanic I've been referred to I think would be able to install both for $500. My job to this point is delivering food and grocery orders--been doing it since 2018. Gig economy is nice for a person who has major depression.

I guess bottom line is, Id be very appreciative for a loan, not a handout. I'd be able to pay it back fully within 4-5 weeks. I get it if you can't or don't want to,  but I promise I will pay it back. Embarrassing but my PayPal is stv0626@gmail.com. I'm at the point I really don't know what else to do.  Thanks all,

I couldn't write a worse script of the things that keep happening to me. My car died again today so I detached the battery and walked it to O'Reilly Auto and recharged it. When I tried to pop the hood to reconnect it, the cable to my hood broke so I can't open the hood to put the battery back in. I've been watching YouTube vids for hours now and can't do it. I cannot believe such a basic thing doesn't have manual backup. Removed the interior panel and pulled the wire to release it and it didn't work either. I feel like I'm losing my mind Now I'm trapped in a grocery store parking lot..ugh

This has to be it because I won't make it if it's not. Appreciate any prayers.
