Help Louie Keep His Wheels Turning

Hello, my name is Louie, I'm a 22 year old man. My car is my lively hood, I live in an area where I NEED a car to get back and forth to work. I just got this car a few months ago, but knowing Subarus, the head gasket is causing oil to leak, along with needing a new front converter. I don't make much, working full time at under 17 an hour.

**This money might also be used to buy a new car!!! Since it's seeming like 4500 to fix my Subaru is not worth it, it would be smarter to get a new car.**

I don't have family to turn to, since I've stopped talking to my family for almost two years, my childhood was abusive.

I can also send you proof via an estimate i got my mechanic. I work hard, I just need help from my fellow man, any help would mean the world to me, now more than ever, since I'm having surgery in a few months that will put me out of commission.

Again any help will be deeply appreciated, and I will forever be grateful for any peace of mind in these trying times.

Thank you.
