Donate to help Lola and I get to AK!!

Hi, my name is Jen and I'm fundraising because my dog and I are stranded in Rock Springs, WY at a hotel which is adding up quickly. While driving on highway 191 on Sunday night my car died. I got it towed to a mechanic and found out today that the engine is blown and it costs $7200 to fix. Since the car is not even worth that much, I need to get another car and don't have the funds to do that. My credit is bad and I'm working on financing a car but I will more than likely have to put a big down payment which I don't have. I got the car inspected before I left for my trip so I'm not sure how this happened and I've always kept up with oil changes and maintenance. I'm pretty desperate and really need financial help as this was a major unforseen obstacle. I need to get out of here asap and get back on the road to AK where I can start working again but I need to purchase a car first. Whatever amount you can donate would be greatly appreciated as every little bit helps! This is extremely hard for me to ask for help and I'm pretty embarrassed but this is totally unforseen and out of my control. Had it been a normal priced repair, I could have easily paid for it but that is not the case. Thanks in advance!! Lola and I really appreciate it!
