Hi everyone! I know I don't post here much anymore but I do pop in on occasion to check on everyone. You're all family whether we've met or not. I've been part of this forum for over a decade now, which is insane to me.
Anyway, life is kicking my lady friend in the proverbial dick over and over again, and now her car has crapped out on her. She's relying on sharing vehicles and taking Lyfts to work, which... kind of takes away from her meager profits as a server. (We've been applying her to literally hundreds of other places since January and only gotten about 5 interviews.)
The shop wants $600 to fix it. She doesn't have that. And I'm happy to help but can't drop $600 without forgoing bills. We tried to fix it ourselves, but no go. We even provided the part to knock the cost down, but they're saying the part isn't working correctly, so it's either a bad part, the wrong part, or they're lying to us. To get another part sent to us will take a while since they want a video of it not working and so on and so on. So now we're looking at biting the bullet and just trying to let the shop do it.
Also in addition to this, her wisdom teeth suddenly started causing her massive pain last night, which we also won't be able to pay for but one disaster at a time.
So! We've posted on Facebook and elsewhere, but all of our friends are poor unmotivated millennials and she hasn't scraped up much.
So I thought I would post here and ask for some help. Any little bit helps- $5, $10, $20, whatever you can spare to throw her way. It all adds up and even if we don't hit the mark, it drastically cuts down on what we're responsible for and we can manage it.

Thank you all so much for reading! Hope you're all doing well since my last pop-in. <3
