In 2017, I worked for an amazing family who helped me get a car and an apartment before they moved out of state. I secured a new job before their move, but the pay was not as discussed and I quickly began to fall behind. The breaking point was when I ran late and was let go without any warning.
This is the modest car that I could not afford to keep.
Hello, I'm Lisa a 39-year-old special needs nanny and have been for 20+ years.
In 2018 I worked a live-in nanny position which provided me with transportation. I worked mostly for room and board and never had reason to purchase a vehicle. The family kept me on as a housekeeper when the children left the temporary care situation. All of that changed with Hurricane Michael. The family I worked for and lived with were musicians and the hurricane destroyed the venues where they were scheduled to play!
The children returned briefly during the massive power outage following the hurricane. They had no warm clothes and I rallied with local churches to help them get clothing and shoes before they returned back to their mother once again.
My family could not continue with such limited options to their business and were forced to sell their home and relocate. My job and home ended again with no time to prepare and again I had to rely on the kindness of strangers to help.
I said my said good-byes to my musician friends
and
through the generosity of others, I was able to move to a safe and very frugal location.
However, I have struggled for a month now getting turned down for jobs due to lack of transportation! I am an aspiring writer but have failed to receive the level of support needed to live my very modest lifestyle without an outside income.
My rent is coming due and I still have not secured a job. The cost of Uber to get to interviews, just to be turned down, has really discouraged me and is dwindling my savings rapidly!
I need a job but I can't get a job without a car. Familes are leary to hire a special needs nanny with no car. I need a car and I have no way to get one without the donations of others.
Please Help!
I'm an honest, hard-worker, I just need a car and insurance to get me back on my feet.
Thank you,
Lisa
