Mom facing transportation problems

We have a mom who is facing transportation issues. Her car has broken down and she is struggling to bring her children to and from daycare and go to work. This is causing major stress, and she is turning to FISH to see if anyone is able to help. She doesn't have any extra funds to go to her car because she works PT and goes to school FT and pays all the rent/utilities by herself.
