Living Expenses While Out of Work

So back in September I lost my job at the arena, and while I started flinging resumes and applications around and picked up whatever sidegigs I had sitting around, I primarily relied on resuming frequent Doordash runs in Huntington. This was being done with a 1997 Saturn that I had already committed myself to replacing as soon as I had my taxes filed and knew what we had to work with, but with things being as they were I really had no other option in a pinch.

In November I was down multiple times with multiple different issues with the car, and once those were resolved things were smooth for a few weeks until a coolant leak issue--on top of everything else that seemed to be leaking from this car--came up, right around when proper winter decided to greet us. After a few weeks of putting roughly a gallon of antifreeze in the car a week, this leak appears to have spawned ANOTHER issue, and I'm finally taking the hint and parking it.

While I wait on someone to take this off my hands, I am still going to need some kind of primary income. Selling the car will basically fill in the gap for the rest of my Doordash week that wasn't, but Doordash pays weekly so... what do I do with the other weeks? I've sent a dozen or so resumes and applications out in the last week and have an interview for a job lined up, but not one that looks like it'll fill in all the gaps it needs to--and I'll need to hop the bus for it anyway.

Thus, I'm passing the digital hat around. The initial goal is basically a month's worth of Doordashing; I've set the stretch goal at two months' worth, just in case nothing else is resolved between now and when I get back on the road job-wise, and in case that process takes longer than I'd like. Appreciate everyone who helps out on this and getting us out of the woods this time.

If I raise any money beyond the goal, this will go toward catching up on bills and upgrading the choice of used car I get as a replacement.
