Emergency fund to get a used car

Donation protected
I am Jason C, aka SkeeterTL.

On March 2nd, at about 4:30-5am, on my way home, I hit a patch of oil or something incredibly slick and spun out hard. My car went into a ditch and is now effectively totaled. The picture above is NOT of the incident but one that occurred 2 years prior, I was too shaken to take any pictures when the spin out happened and I needed something to post per the steps on this site. Small favors, though, as I was the only one in that accident on March 2nd.

At this point in time, I have no car. No way to get around, no way to go grocery shopping, and much much much worse: I cannot get to work. Even worse, I am less than a week (as of writing this, March 3rd) from starting a new and better paying job.

Here's my situation as it currently stands:
-I do not have a car. It's totaled, gone, done. Both side airbags blew, doors are damaged, front bumper is peeled back and how that never set off the front airbag I shall never know, and I am fairly sure it's missing a wheel.

-There is no insurance. This is due to Allstate never actually bothering to tell me a payment was due/late. I had thought I set up the autopay, which apparently failed for some reason and they just never actually told me anything was wrong/due/etc. I was unaware of that until the 2nd when looking up the policy showed me it was cancelled.

-I cannot get a personal emergency loan. From March of last year to now I have been in a constant state of "nearly broke" from a loss of a job to a job that just barely pays enough to float. This meant that I had to essentially do whatever I could to live and not pay my credit cards was one thing I had to do. That has, more or less, screwed me in any chance to get a loan.

-I still have payments on my now destroyed Kia. I owe just about $7000 left on it.


So what will I use the money for? In order:
1. A used car via Facebook Marketplace or Craigslist. I need a car bad and ASAP. It is beyond essential that I get one as I need a means to travel to work and back. At least $2500 will be used on that alone.
2. All admin stuff at the MVA. Naturally once I get it, I need to be able to drive it.
3. Anything else will be used to fix the car or get rid of a few outstanding bills/fees.

None of this will be used for nonessential items.

I realize I am asking a lot. I realize I have nothing to offer in exchange for this. But if you do decide to help me, I will try and help you should you ever need it.

Thanks for at least reading:
