Car Needed for Family

Hello,
I find myself in a position I’ve I never thought I’d be in – I am asking for help.
I'm a student single mom who in all my years raising my kids have always been able to meet all of our needs until I became ill with Grave’s Disease AKA Thyroid Disease - and had to change careers.
Since my diagnosis I have working from home in Dental Insurance customer service making 14.00/hr previously I'd been a Correctional Officer for over 11 years. My endocrinologist explained I cannot have a physical job any longer.
My thyroid is the size of a small grapefruit in my throat. It's nasty… and embarrassing.
It also affects my heart. My heart rate without my medication is 140-- which is ridiculous and exhausting.
I was hospitalized for 5 days last year
until they found the right combo to treat me with.
Fun Fact: apparently my goiter has it's own pulse which I'm told by my Dr. is very rare and he wants me to go get an ultra sound of it for him.. -- he's still waiting..lol
I can have the goiter taken out - I'm waiting for Covid to settle down before I am going into any hospital. I have a healthy fear of Covid.
My 2006 Corolla finally bit the dust… the transmission is died. It's been 3 months now and I cannot save the money with the money I currently make.
During the past 3 ½ months I have been attempting to save to replace it and am unable to do it.
I have been hoping the next stimulus check would come and that would help with saving & we all know how that’s going.
My goal is 4,000.00. I need a car that will be reliable for my kids - our dogs and I.
I don’t need a fancy car or an expensive car simply one that will go from point A to B and be dependable.
Any and all help that you can extend will be very much appreciated and I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Thank you
Kate
