Help Now	Car Battery Needed I am working with a 55-year-old man who needs a new car battery for the vehicle he uses to get to work. He is a hard worker who is the sole breadwinner for his family. He has been at his current job for two years. His family experienced a tragedy earlier this year when his 33-year-old son passed away suddenly from a heart attack. He and his wife are now taking care of their 6- and 7-year-old grandkids, and they are living paycheck to paycheck. He doesn't have the extra money right now for the car battery, and has had to borrow a friend's vehicle this week to get to work--which he won't be able to do for much longer. The cost for the new battery is approximately $265.00. Thank you in advance for any assistance you can provide.
