Single mom needs reliable transportation

Hi, My name is Shelby and I am fundraising for myself and my 4 month old daughter. I am the sole care provider for my daughter. We are in need of dependable transportation in a rural area where public transportation is extremely lacking. Right now we have use of a car that we are borrowing from family 4 days a week. The car I'm fundraising for will give me the ability to work any day of the week, buy groceries whenever I need to, and provide quick transport in urgent situations (I hope to have none of those, but want to be prepared).

I am also an artist and transport my art and displays to local craft fairs, which is something I cannot do without a vehicle, so my opportunity for making income is greatly stifled without a vehicle.

I want to purchase a lightly used hybrid car. Gas milage and dependability are of the utmost importance to me. I need my expenses to stay as low as possible, as I am the only provider for myself and my daughter.
