Grandma fell, need car to help

Donation protected
UPDATE: A relative of mine agreed to help me pay the rest if I raised $1,500. Please help me reach this goal. My grandmother also fell twice this week, it's driving my mom to tears from the stress and anxiety, I feel helpless. Please help. Thanks.

The money will go to a down payment, taxes, registration and insurance along with any left over going towards the monthly payments. I'm just looking for a used car to bring me to work and do my errands in, including the laundry which I carry on my back to the laundromat, I don't need nor want a new car or any bells or whistles. A reliable car company will sell me a car for $10k that's just automatic and runs with less than 100k miles.

I also have a driver's license which I won't post here (since it does give confidential information) and a clean record. No tickets and no accidents since I got it and it's up to date.

After graduating from college, the first one in my family. I ended up being diagnosed with skin cancer and not able to hold a full-time job due to my medical condition and restrictions to my health care that only allowed me to earn a small amount a week without it being removed with mounting medical problems.

The last job I had nearly drove me to suicide with the abuse I endured from two verbally abusive supervisors. They would go out of the way to tell me how much I stunk the place up, throw abuse in my face and torture me. The owner was one of them and I developed a deep-seated terror of working for another place. I nearly got banned from the bathroom for forgetting to put in toilet paper, aggravated my ankle because one of them was screaming obscenities about me limping around after twisting it and I removed the brace to stop the abuse, crawled around on my hands and knees picking up bits of my shoe after it fell apart, and for a long time, I thought I was a freak. Sometimes I still do.

The police picked me up one time when walking home because I was having a severe panic attack. They offered to press charges but I refused because I knew I would never get another job. I never said a word to these people nor do anything to cause this. I still don't know to this day what I did to cause so much hatred.

I finally got my job phased out and I searched for months, I wanted to be somewhere I was happy. I could have a better life. I finally found work at a university that is 45 minutes away. I finally was happy and even though I needed a ride to work which my mom provided to the nearest bus stop. (My town has banned public transportation.) I found a place I belonged and was healing.

 Now my grandmother has cracked her pelvis and I'm getting desperate for a ride. I saved up some money towards a car, but not enough for one yet with everything going on in my life. My rides so far I've been lucky with, but my luck ends at the end of the month.

For the first time in my life I have health insurance, for the first time in my life I can see a future in my job, for the first time in a very long time I'm happy where I'm working and I feel like everyone else. I gambled everything for this job and when my grandmother fell, I sobbed a long time worrying about what would happen.

All I need is $1,500 to have this work, please help me feel happy and needed again. thank you.
