Raising money for close friend to help repair or buy a new car

Hi,

I am trying to raise money for a very close family friend.

She is a single mother who works full time and looks after he two children.

She recently saved up money to purchase a new car which sadly had many mechanical faults which were not covered by any warranty/guarantee and is now stuck as she does not have the funds to fix it.

Currently she is traveling to work using the bus or by support who can provide a lift but she needs to be able to get back on her feet as the additional cost is hurting her badly and affecting her life massively. She cannot afford to start work late as it will put her job in jeopardy and losing her job would affect her hugely as she could lose her home.

She is working additional hours on weekends and does not get much chance to spend her time with her daughters.

Please help so we can get her back on her feet and able to reduce her hours again to spend quality time with her daughters.
