Maybe call the school office and let them know about your problem -- they may be able to connect you with another parent who would be willing to carpool your granddaughter for a limited time until you get the car fixed.
As for financing the fix, others have given good suggestions, but if those don't pan out, try contacting churches or synagogues to see if anyone has a vehicle to donate to you.
You can call 211 or 311 or Area on Aging or County Welfare but your answer is overwhelmingly likely to be nope. People arent entitled to a full transmission or even tires for that matter because they’re older or use their car to transport others.
Transportation, ie buses or bus pass, is typically offered to public school students who live too far away to walk. Have the child’s guardian look into that.
Not where I live. Private bussing is in cities. Kids actually use them as school buses. But in the smaller communities, bussing is only provided for kids over 2miles from school. They will bus kids over 2 miles if they pay for it.
We often hear people wanting help with car repairs, home repairs and even tree removal. Quite honestly I have never seen any help of "deals" with this, but do consider calling your local council or agency on aging. They might have a direction to point you for a senior discount.
