A Family Car For The Hughes's

Hi, my name is Danielle Hughes and I'm married to my wonderful husband and we have a beautiful daughter, Penny Lane, who just turned 3. My husband works with my step dad who picks him up for work, and I stay at home with Penny Lane. Last year I had a good job working at an office, but I was laid off when the company decided to downsize. A month later our van broke down and was beyond repair. My husband works so hard at a low paying job and we can barely make ends meet. I would love to go back to work part time to take some of the load off my husband but we live 3 miles from the nearest place of employment and I don't have any friends or family in the area that can help get me to or from a job.
We have been trying so hard to save up for a car, but anytime we get close something comes up or my husband's work gets slow and we have to spend what little savings we have just to get by.
We are in desperate need of a good, reliable family car so that I can get back to work and so that we can get out more to properly socialize my daughter with other children her age. Any help that can be given to us in our time of need would be so greatly appreciated and you would truly be making a huge impact on our little family.
