do you know where i could help with this situation: my husband is going through cancer treatment for the 4th time in as many years, with his type of treatment he is off work until at leat mid 2008 and i have had to taek a leave from work to care for him...i have gotten a little behind on the car payment by 2 months, i have the car financed through an auto financer, not the bank....do you think if i were to open up to them about our situation they could help me wiyh lower payments for a little while....about 4 months, till i can go back to work (hopefully)....we need the car as my husbands treatments/transplant care is 300 miles away and i am scared they may take it away...don't want to add to my husbands stress so i am turning to yahoo answers to see if anyone has some advice or guidance with this sort of situation. (the car is finanaced through wells fargo auto finance and we are in ONTARIO, CANADA...if that will help youout) thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Honey, I sympathize and, if it's okay with you will add you and your husband to my prayer list.
It is a good idea to talk to the financial institution you are financed through - sometimes they can refinance your car - or defer payments under special circumstances.
Post this question in the financial section of Yahoo!Answers, you'll probably get some pretty good advice.
Take care,.

Contact Social Services immediately to see what they can do to help...I'm not sure what you have for income but if you contact them they may be able to help you or at least direct you to an agency that can.
Push for your rights because this is definately an emergency situation.
I'd also contact Wells Fargo & check on any disability insurance you may have (possibly through a medical plan with an employer) that may cover transportation costs.
Other options may be The Red Cross or The Salvation Army.
Good Luck to you both.

Contact your local churches.... a lot of them have funds put aside for situations such as this. They can sometimes qualify you for a one time monetary gift. Contact your local government welfare agencies they can also suggest places to go for help. I strongly suggest you tell the company about the situation. They may have a program to help you or have a provision in their contract that cover this exact situation.
On a personal note. I pray that you both make it thru this difficult time. I've been thru this with my mom 3 times and know how hard it can be. Just know God is watching over both of you. Keep your chin up. God bless you both!

I would talk with them. Most places are willing to help. I would also see if you can get some help elsewhere. Do you belong to a church ? Most churches will not turn you away if you are really in need. Or how about the government ? In Pennsylvania, there are many county agencies that can help in some ways. I am not sure how it would work in Canada.
Good luck with everything.

You definitely should tell them the situation-- some companies do have a provision for medical emergencies or disability....
Do you have long-term care insurance? Also, talk to your local churches about help as well....
good luck

I think they would help you.
There are also cancer foundations that can help you with this. Contact your local cancer association and they can put you in touch with all kinds of organizations that do this kind of thing daily.
My prayers are with you!
