Hi,
My name is Peggy. I am divorced, and just turned 60 in June. The last few years have been very hard. I was laid off work after 17 years, and have been working for a temporary service since 2005. I do not have any transportation. I had bought a truck last December, but it was repossessed in May. I got sick and was off work for a few days, and with high summer utility bills and no sick pay, it didn't take long for me to get behind.
Now I am taking the bus back and forth to work. I don't mind riding the bus, but after I get off the bus, I have to walk another mile to work. I know that doesn't seem very far, but when you are 60 and it is 115 degrees outside, it takes a toll on you.
I have been looking at cars on Craigslist, and I can get an old clunker for about 600.00. My problem is, that I live paycheck to paycheck, and can't save sny month towards a car. I just found out this job will end in about a month, and I am trying to get transportation so I can go out and find another job. The buses in Phoenix aren't the best mode of transporation.
If anyone could help me, I promise I would pay if forward, and help someone else in return. I have always tried to help others whenever I could, and even now I try to help others who are worse off than I am.
If you have an old car that doesn't need to much work done to it, that would be great too. I would try to make payments to you if you want. I am just feeling really depressed right now, and need a little help.
If you can't help me, I understand and thank you for reading this. Maybe you can pray for me that things will work out. I know God won't desert me, so I'll leave things in his hands.
Thank you
Peggy
