Won't your costs (not to mention your time) be far more than that? If my bro asked me to get a car up and running, and drive around 100 miles a day for five weeks to ferry his kid back and forth to a program, and she could take a $20 uber instead, I'd pay for the uber. Or better yet, he would.
Nothing is confirmed yet. She got her application in late and may not go to the Youth Corps. But, an opening could come up.
And, yes, Mom would likely be driving her most of the time. But there could be days when that isn't possible or practical, so one must be prepared for the inevitable.
