Because of this she will not be able to return to work until the end of September. She is facing shortfalls in paying her bills for the next month while she waits for the application process to go through for medical leave. Her primary need is with paying her monthly rent and car insurance for the next month: Car insurance: $147. Half rent payment: $800. Thank you in advance for any help that can be provided.

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.
