Does someone know of a reputible charity?

Question

I have recently lost my job and have fell behind on my car payment and am at risk of losing my car. I have a job interview next week that I desparately need to get to but, I am scared that my car will be taken in the middle of the night. Is there anyone that knows of a charity that I can contact that may be able to help with my situation? I feel horrible but, I lost my job and unfortunately my family does not have the money to loan me either. Anyone that can help will be appriciated. Thank you.

Answer 1

call the loan company...ask for an extension....get them to reduce or delay the payment until next month....they want their money and don't want you to default, so they will usually cut you some slack if you ask nicely.

Answer 2

You need to get busy contacting charities in your city. Start anywhere and they likely can steer you in the right direction. You should know that most will not give cash to you personally. However, they may be able to intervene on your behalf with the loan company.

I worked for The Salvation Army and they might be able to help. Start there if there is one in your city. If not, hit the phone and start calling around.
