Help Struggling Single Mom!!

I am a single mom and on the heels of finishing beauty school. I work my ass off but still can't seem to keep up with rent, bills and raising a child on my own. This past weekend my car was towed. I am new to this neighborhood and this is my first car here in SF. It's a 93 jeep but it runs good and I need it for work. I called the towing company and they are charging me $800 to get it out and $66 for each additional day it's sitting there. I'm barely scraping by as it is, so I fear I will never see this car again. Some are saying I should just let this car go because it's so old, but my father gave me this car as a gift right before telling me he would never see me again (sorry, I can't get into the details about that). So not only do I need my car, it is also dear to me. Please help me get my car back! I will make you tamales! I make amazing tamales!

In addition to this, I still need to apply for my state board exam, take the exam to get licensed and start doing hair!!! I love doing hair and making people feel great after a bad day. I give awesome scalp massages before cutting your hair as I believe in getting you at your most relaxed state so the ideas can flow and we can get your hair looking as great as possible!

However, even after graduating from school I will not be able to get my license because I still owe the school money and they will not release my license until after I have paid them all money owed. Please help me get my car back so I can work hard to get my cosmetology license and make my dreams come true!!!
