Help Diamond and I get back on the road, for a truck or van

Hey all, this fundraiser is not only for me, but also my best friend Diamond. Diamond and I have been traveling together for around 4 years. She's seen most of the country, and so have I. Unfortunately she was diagnosed with hip displaysia last year and although she isn't wobbly or weak, I need to figure out something to where we don't have to walk everywhere.

I just spent many months apart from her to work to get us a car and unfortunately the engine totally failed when we got to where we were going. I spent the last of my money getting there and that put a stop to us getting work to where she can be with me.

The goal is to get a truck at minimum or a van ideally to start doing mobile mechanic services, to add a camper and to eventually flip it if that's what has to be done after restoration. I've done a few vehicles, but am no machinist so yeah. It needs some repairs with fuel delivery upon start but that's an easy fix for me. The better option is a built out van I saw for sale for 4,500, but I don't want to ask for too much.

We are doing the best we can and came to a snowbird town for work after trying to find work in CA and that not panning out. Unfortunately no work yet and the little money we had is running out. They are asking 3,500 for the truck (although the van would be a livable space) and we will also need to buy tools but if I can get the truck at the least I know I can make that happen. We just need a little help in getting started. Starting over from nothing is hard and I'd like to have some sort of model set up before summer when work will be more available.
