Thanks so much for coming through. The car repairs are more expensive than first quoted and I need another £15 for that, plus any help anyone can donate towards petrol. (It costs around £60 to fill the tank up now). I’m disabled and we have no transport and no way of getting to appointments without this. Sorry but I don’t have anyone else to ask. I’ll repost my original post:

I was hoping I wouldn’t have to ask for help via paypal again due to the DWP, but I don’t see any alternative. My landlady drives me to local medical appointments as I can’t drive (I’m partially sighted) and can’t walk far (repeated foot surgeries and mobility issues caused by a stroke.) I have many regular medical appointments, endocrinologist, neurologist, stroke clinic, physiotherapist, ophthalmologist and podiatrist being the main ones. So the car is a lifeline we can’t manage without. We also use it for collecting prescriptions, food shopping and whatever else we need.

The car is having problems again, it started stalling, being difficult to start and accelerating weirdly. we had to call the emergency mechanics out today and it needs a new ignition coil. They’ve quoted £170. We don’t have the money to pay for this (I’m going through a disability benefit appeal and owe backrent, so my landlady is managing just off her pension and is in debt with a maxxed out credit card). My landlady doesn’t feel safe driving it at all until it’s fixed, so it’s quite urgent and I don’t have anyone else to ask. We are also regularly struggling to pay for petrol. If anyone can help with these things my paypal is the_mighty_tabs@hotmail.co.uk

If you can, please write in the message box that it’s a gift so I can prove to the DWP (British benefit nazis) that I am not earning money.

I can’t stress enough how vital this is. I can’t walk more than a few minutes, we can’t pay for taxis. The nearest bus stop is half a mile away. Even hospital transport costs money. Someone helped me pay for the transport to my foot surgery but with all these other appointments to get to as well we need to either fix this car or pay a load of money for hospital transport to all the other appointments. Cheaper in the long run to just fix the car.

I am really grateful for any help.
