Help Keelin Get A Car

Donation protected
Hey guys, I'm not proud that I have to do this, but I think I need help.

Last week I was in an accident that totaled my car. I was lucky enough to be able to walk away with a few cuts and bruises, but because of the age and condition the car is in, I'm essentially only getting what it's worth in scrap. I don't have any immediate relatives I can turn to for help - I am completely financially independant, and I'm doing this adult thing on my own.

I am honestly struggling to afford life without a car. When I can't bum rides to work, ubers are $10 - $15 just one way. I am going to have to pay storage fees to the auto body shop holding my vehicle until I can sell it to a salvage yard. I am going to have to pay at least $800 - $1000 for a decent craigslist car to get me to work. I am going to have to pay several hundred in registration and insurance fees to get it street legal. And I can't do this while also paying for rent, utilities, food, and basic life necessities. 

I am so ashamed to have to ask for help. I don't want to do it. I am so stubborn about doing everything on my own. But I am honestly sinking deeper and deeper into a depression I can't pull myself out of over my situation, of just trying to function in an extremely un-pedestrian-friendly city while also living paycheck to paycheck. It's destroying me mentally, and I need to admit that I need help.

I am asking for the bare minimum to help me out. I just need help actually physically getting a car and existing without one until then, while also keeping my head above water. I'm so sorry I need to reach out and beg for help, but anything that can be spared will mean more to me than you could ever know. Thank you for taking the time to read all this, and again, I'm so sorry I have to do this.
