In Over His Head on Repairs

Hello. I would first like to thank you for visiting. My name is Derek Sipila and I am based in the United States. I live with my signifigant other her name is Mandie we have been together for 10 years. Mandie has two sons from a previous marriage that ended terribly.  Her sons have been diagonosed with ADD and ADHD. Mandie has to stay home to care for her sons. One more so than the other. The agency that supports her only allows one hour a day of paid work with her son. We tried to have the agency give her more hours but they will not. Both sons due to their disabilities like to play with fire and have been caught many times lighting things on fire inside and outside the house. They can not be left alone.

  I work full time in retail and when I am not working there I help Mandie taking apart electronics to recover scrap metal to sell. Mandies car has been broke down for 6 months and my car needs a starter. We have a 1998 Dodge truck that is like our lifeline. We need it to get around and to aquire and sell our scrap metal. The truck needs brakes and rotors badly. The truck shakes while braking. It also needs exhaust work.  I feel like I am in way over my head. My income is not enough to take care of everything. I would like to get the vehicles fixed and atleast get caught up. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time.
