Vroom, Vroom?

Hi! My name is Heather Shaver. I am a seventeen year old senior in high school. Being a senior in highschool, I have the future to look forward to as I progress to becoming an adult. This is where I need your help: I need a way of transportation. I have considered leasing, taking out a loan, trying to find the little family I have to ask if they have a car they are selling I could buy but that has all lead me to a dead end. My mother has extreme debt, and has a car in her name, so the loan and leasing idea would be a definite no from any car salesman. My father is not in my life, so another dead end. I also have a job at Yankee Candle but its hard to save up when I already have other bills to pay.  

Put simply, I need help. Any bit of money would help to my goal and dream of being more responsible and helping me become more of an adult. Thank you!
