Trying to help a single mother who is being badly ripped off by "Strictly German" in Pasadena CA. They have had her car for over 6 months and nothing has been done. Her budget was $800 when she brought the car in.
What makes this a horrific story is that she is a single mother with three sons. First son suffers from severe Hemophilia A with spontaneous bleeding and is legally blind. Second son suffers from epilepsy with nocturnal seizures. Third son is ok. This car was their only mode of transportation and would have been used for groceries, etc.. They do not have a car and must take buses and walk. She is a brilliant sculptor and is barely making ends meet. The only wish she has is to have her 1975 Porsche 914 repaired and running. Her story is truly compelling, and deserves to be made into a film. I can't tell you how many times her Hemophiliac son has cheated death. Just incredible story. Her name is Jessica and her sons are Leonardo, Brian and Vance. They live in Arcadia, CA. If there is anybody in the 914 community that can help or offer some sort of lead to fix Jessica's car, please contact me. My name is Nick and I can be reached via email at: nigolusa@icloud.com, or my cell number (626) 979-4230. I am a family friend and have sacrificed so much for them. The 914 is a dream I cannot fulfill since I am unemployed. Thanks all for your help and resources. Attached image(s)
