Question: I am going to be 62 in November, married. My husband and I are on disability. We have a house payment of $90.000. A car payment of $19,000. Also charge cad dept of around $4,000. I always need to use my card for car insurance.If I would not had to have bake surgery, we would not be behind like this. Can I get some kind of grant to at least pay off my car?

Answer:

Dear Mrs. Everitt,

I am so sorry to hear of your difficulties. Unfortunately, your request is not something the Community Toolbox can help you with. We do not handle individual inquiries nor do we help with assisting with finding grants for personal needs.

I would suggest that you find out if there are community-based or faith-based organizations in your communities that provide financial assistance. Since I do not know where you are located I cannot provide any guidance as to where you might look. If you have a local United Way or Community Council they may have information and referral resources.

I am sorry we cannot be of more help and I wish you luck in finding the assistance that you need.
