Please Save My Car

Donation protected
Not long ago my car needed to be repaired for a leaky transmission. Since I've been out of work I couldn't afford the work. Some people offered to pay for the work, and so my car was towed (because it was not running) to a local dealer. The mechanic there drove the car and blew the engine, then the dealeship said they don't do replacement engines and that was that. The dealership took the $1600 for the work they claimed they did. I was desperate and took some bad advice that I could get enough money through a student loan. That didn't happen. So now I owe a different mechanic $3414 for a new engine plus labor plus lot fees, and he's filed a mechanics lien. So I will lose my car that I had already paid for. Since becoming unemployed I've ran through all my savings, and just recently (after the whole car mess) became homeless. I won't even have my car to sleep in. If you can help, please do. The money goes to Dave's Automotive in Carbondale, Illinois

Plus, having a car again GREATLY expands where I can apply for jobs.
