Help Robert repair his vehicle

On February 8th, of 2021 - I was involved in an auto accident, which was deemed not my fault. The other driver has accepted fault and responsibility, however he does not have insurance and I am not willing to sue him due to current circumstances; Being in a pandemic and all. I have also sustained an injury to my right arm as a result of the accident, nothing severe but it will need time to heal.
To detail what was happening, I had just left to go and pick up my sister from work, a driver in front of me slowed down and pulled to the side of a road, assuming he was pulling over to park I attempted to go around him with space for him to leave his vehicle, as I approached he suddenly turned without any indication that he was going to turn, and he admitted after the fact that he didn't look and didn't know I was there. We collided and both vehicles are totaled.
This has spelled the end of my 96 Jeep Grand Cherokee, a vehicle which was critical to my family in its role of transport. Without it my sister cannot get to and from work without using rideshare and spending what little precious money we do have, and my autistic 7 year old niece cannot get to her Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy appointments, and to and from Elementary School (She cannot be unsupervised on a bus.) This also complicates our ability to do shopping and other general auto use. My insurance wishes to total my Jeep for scrap value (several hundred dollars) which most definitely will not cover the cost of another car - So I have elected to reject their offer, and repair the vehicle out of pocket if possible.
I opened this GoFundMe in an attempt to raise the money to either repair the Jeep, if possible - and if not possible to replace it with another vehicle. I set the goal so high because I felt that while it was highly unlikely I could raise that much money for this, that it should cover most if not all of the necessary repairs, or the payment for another vehicle to replace the Jeep.
