Car broke down, can't get to work, struggling to make end

Hi, my name is Luis.

I'm in a bit of a tough spot right now and could use some support. I live in the city of Charlotte, North Carolina.

On September 29, my car broke down completely while I was driving. The ignition coils gave out, and now I can't use the car at all. I rely on it heavily for work, and without it, I'm stuck. To make things worse, the misfire cylinder error popped up on the car’s computer, confirming it's a serious issue. It's been a huge blow, especially since I need my car to get to work.

I reached out to my brother and some other family members, hoping someone could help, but they aren't in a position to assist me at the moment. Right now, I need a total of $612 to cover the repair. I don't know anyone nearby who could help with this, and I’m trying to figure out my next steps. Being without a car means I can’t go to work, and to top it off, I don't have any food at home.

This situation has really left me with few options. I’m trying to keep my head up, but it’s tough when you rely on something so basic, like transportation, to survive. I’ve asked around for help, but nothing’s come through yet. I’m not one to ask for help and I feel embarrassed, but right now, it feels like my last resort.

I wanted to share my story here with the community because I’ve seen the kind of support people give here. If anyone has any advice or could point me in the right direction, I’d really appreciate it. Thank you for reading.
