Help Now	Vehicle Transmission Replacement *Update: A 34-year-old single mother of a 6-year-old daughter, who is also a foster parent to her 2-month-old nephew, is in urgent need of a replacement for her torque converter on her 2014 Dodge Grand Caravan. She is a responsible young mother who works full time Monday-Friday but lives paycheck to paycheck. She purchased the vehicle 4 years ago for $15000 and is heavily dependent on it to get to work and to pick-up her daughter and nephew from daycare. The mechanic shop she goes to issued her the following price quote for the repair: $1500 to replace the torque convertor. She has already depleted her savings to take care of other family expenses and doesn't have the resources for the repairs or to buy a different vehicle. She is open to receiving other offers or bids to repair her vehicle at a lower cost. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Help Now	Babies Need Heat! A 21-year-old single mom with three children (ages 4, 18 months and 7 months) is trying her very best to make a good life for her and her little ones. She is finishing up her last few months of high school while also doing community college course work to be become a nurse assistant. She is a very soft-spoken caring mom who is concerned that her children are being transported back and forth from daycare in a cold car (2009 Dodge Journey). She would be very grateful if a kind soul would provide the needed funds to get her car’s heater running again. Thanks so much for anything you can do to help this young kind mom, and her little ones, to keep warm.
