Need Help Getting Back on the Road – Just Got a Job & My Car Gave Out (Hacienda Heights)

Hi neighbors, I’m reaching out with a lot of humility—and a little hope. I recently got a new job that I’m incredibly grateful for. It’s the kind of opportunity I’ve been working toward for a long time—steady hours, real potential, and the chance to finally build some financial stability. But there’s one major issue: the job requires reliable transportation, and just this past week, the transmission on my old Acura MDX completely failed. The repair costs are more than the car is worth, and I don’t have the savings right now to replace it. I’m not asking for anything flashy. All I’m hoping for is to raise enough to buy a used Toyota Prius—something simple, affordable to run, and better for the environment. I’ve set up a fund to help me get there, and even small contributions would mean the world to me. https://gofund.me/7c7221d6 I know times are hard for a lot of people right now. If you’re not in a place to give, I completely understand. But if you can share this, or if you know someone with a used hybrid or reliable vehicle they’re willing to part with affordably, I’d be so grateful to connect. This job means everything to me. I just need a way to get there. Thank you so much for reading—and for believing in second chances. With gratitude.
