Help Lauren and Martin Get Home

For the past 20 years or so, Martin and Lauren Grover have attended an event in western Pennsylvania called Pennsic, where they are known as Suleiman and Ghazalah. Lauren learned henna there, which led to her current career. Martin started working with a Turkish coffeehouse on the site, which he now runs as Kafe Merhaba, and is expanding to Renaissance Faires and other events all over the East.  Both of our businesses require a lot of driving, hauling gear, and setup. 
This year, we're at Pennsic again, and our new-to-us van just died. It threw a rod, which is car speak for "parts of the engine that ought to be inside it just tried to exit at high speed". Nobody was hurt, but the van is an unfixable paperweight, and now we're stuck in Western PA with a couple of friends who rode in with us, and unable to get ourselves or our stuff home. 
This is particularly unfortunate timing. Because of shortages at the local stores, we're having to drive off-site to buy supplies for the Kafe, which was more expensive and is now impossible due to the lack of vehicle. Lauren's booth at her home location was destroyed and she had to buy a new one, and pay people to put it up. Lauren finally lucked into getting her own merchant booth at the event, which is terrific- but wasn't cheap. So we're very low on funds and running out of time to find options, as we have to be off-site by Sunday.
Luckily, we have a friend here who knows several local wholesalers and is an excellent mechanic himself. He can help us buy something that is in decent condition that will last us a while, at a cost far less than what we'd pay at home. We just need the help to get to that point. We aren't going extravagant- just safe and reliable, that will carry our businesses, our friends, and our family home safe.
