Help Valerie get on her feet

I'm in a bind. I have no resources of my own, financially, difficulty with family (an understatement), and profound chronic depression. Im stuck at a low point where doing basic things like sleeping, eating, and bathing are a struggle. It's been like this for months. In early August I was made aware by many friends and former colleagues that a dream position wad available for which I was ideally qualified. Except, upon reading the job description my heart sank a mile upon reading that reliable transportation (a car) was required. I'm without one with no route to obtaining one in sight. My depression deepened as a resulresult. and I And I will emphasize for context, this is only one example.
I need the financial wherewithal to leave this living situation and get well enough again to work. I expect I will need to be living on my own and with access to a car so I can get to therapy, a job, and other basic things. Where I'm living now is untenable. I am terrified and unable to function in such a tense and triggering environment with high conflict people. I'm asking everyone for a hand up so I can be the member of the community I have been and know I can be again given the chance to participate and have control over my own destiny. I just want a chance to have a chance. I need the tools to rebuild myself and my own independence.
I hope you all can give within your means if you're able, and please share and encourage others to do the same regardless of your ability to donate.
Should I raise less than the goal amount I'll make do the best I can with what I have. Main expenses paid will be a used car and a couple months rent and bills for a new place to live. If I raise more than the goal, in some miracle, then I'll do the best to manage it wisely and invest in my future.
This is very difficult for me to ask. I am deeply embarrassed and ashamed to be begging to be honest. I realize that it's not unusual or anything but all the same it's difficult for me to open up about my struggles.
