Help Erika with her car troubles!

Hi, you may or may not know me. I'm Erika, the tgirl that runs this account. Long story short because I'm bad at things. On Friday night, August 8th, 2025, I crashed my car. This wasn't any high-speed crash; physically, I am completely fine. My mental health and my car itself are a different story.

We'll start with the mental health stuff. I already wasn't the most healthy person because of my bad relationship with my family, but this hasn't helped. I have some friends that helped me calm down after the fact, but I'm still feeling quite depressed. I don't live the closest to my job (about 15 miles). There's no one I can get consistent rides from. There are no bus routes that go out that far, and I don't make enough money to justify taking an Uber.

I forgot to take pictures of the ouside of it but i can take those soon. As for my car, the underside of it is all sorts of messed up. The radiator, transmission cooler, fan, inner fender, the front, and rear bumper need to be replaced, although admittedly, I can drive without the bumpers and inner fender. I don't know if this is all or not. I went under it and a few other things looked a little sketchy but they might still work. This all is a costly fix if I knew what I was doing; unfortunately, I do not, nor do I have the tools to fix it if I did. The car won't even make it to a mechanic's shop without everything overheating, so I haven't even tried out of fear. At the moment, I don't know if the better choice is to just get a new shitbox off Facebook Marketplace or to tow my current car to a mechanic. Either way, i do not have the money for either of these.

I have a little bit of unpaid time off that I got at work, so I have up until Wednesday, 8/13/25.

A big thank you to anyone that decides to actually give me. I really can't thank you enough and i wish i could pay you back. I already feel horrible asking for money and i promise i am trying my hardest to sell stuff so i don't have to ask for too much.
