Welcome everyone to Hunks for Clunks.
The premise of HfC started from this forum thread (http://www.ehow.com/forums.aspx?plckForumPage=ForumDiscussion&plckDiscussionId=Cat%3aeHow+GeneralForum%3a102Discussion%3aef5a4a9e-96dc-4e5f-ab02-f113b8445d06&plckCurrentPage=0)
Seeing a truly large need, I decided to ‘carpe diem’. So, what does HfC program do? Mechanics help single moms across the nation fix their cars. Single moms have enough on their plate, so this is one way for a community to build and grow!
If you have any way to help (primarily listing mechanics who’d be willing to provide their services) then please do so!!!
Thank you for your support,
Jeff, Hunks for Clunks

I am a single mom of 2 small children. After a year of being homeless and sleeping in my car with my kids, I was able to get back on my feet and found a home for me and my kids. Unfortunately right before I found a home my car broke down and was taken to a repair shop where it has sat for almost a year now. It needs a new engine and the shop it has sat at all this time has been nice enough not to charge me for storage and wants me to either fix the car or get it towed away. Neither of which I can afford to do. Unfortunately the mechanic or the shop offers no finacial assistance. I have checked with other charities but they are either out of resources or I do not qualify for help because I do NOT make enough money and am NOT self sufficient enough for them. I have a part time job now and have to rely on rides from friends and family members. I could have more work and be better off if I had my own car back. I have a 1985 Mercedes Benz 380 SE that was a gift from some dear friends and I do not want to just throw it away. My car is currently in Van Nuys, Ca. and I am about 2 hours from there. If there is anyway anyone can help it would be a true blessing. This has been a long hardship for me.

Henry,
Are you still looking to help single mom’s? I am a single mom with 2 kids in San Diego and last year my car was totaled and I used the insurance money to purchase a 1996 Plymouth Voyager. The mini van runs, but it did not pass smog because it is smoking from the tail pipe and leaks oil and the check engine light is on. Recently it seems to idle rough and a few times the engine turned off while driving, I’m afraid it will breakdown any day now and I won’t be able to get to work. I don’t know where to turn for help or who to trust and I can’t afford a huge repair bill.
