homeless, living in car, need emergency help

EDIT 2 (March 21 2023) Sorry everyone, I'm still in a real emergency situation. I would appreciate it very much if you could share this again. I feel bad about this because everyone has been so marvellous but truth is, surviving has been very expensive and I'm not out of the woods by any means :-(
EDIT 2B: To be clear to people who seem to be jumping to conclusions: yes, this is a previous fundraiser. Yes I raised £5k. It wasn’t for a vehicle or for anything material at all - it was for not dying over the winter. I spent it all on not dying over nearly 4 months over winter, and have nothing left. That’s why I set up another one, so I can buy a actual vehicle and anything to show for it. I literally have nothing right now, I’m having to beg & borrow to get through my MOT. I know - tiny violins - but I make no apologies for trying to stay alive and have nothing to hide.
EDIT 1 Wow! We did it! Made the £5k target and spent that on not dying in the winter! Winning. Now I’m officially not dead, and haven’t got anything left, please help with phase 2: getting a campervan which will help ensure I don’t have any emergencies again!
Here’s the original (phase 1) appeal, which started in December 2022 and raised £5k on 27th feb 2023: Hi, I’m Alex, I’m living in my car and it’s freezing cold, so I’m trying to raise enough to have the option of a proper conversion so I can have some options and breathing space and concentrate on doing life rather than surviving each day… long story short: very successful company I founded led to burn out, I thought there’d be support but there wasn’t, this led to nervous breakdown, trolls, lost business, evicted, mental health crisis, no help, covid, lockdown, no support, sought sanctuary, abused by carers, fled, now homeless. Living in my car for the last 7 months. Now it’s very cold and Christmas I’ve decided to try and be positive and raise money to get back on my feet. Some cash will gives me breathing space to get out of the emergency, more options for getting through the winter safely and comfortably, now I’m trying to raise enough to buy a campervan or similar for a more sustainable and longer term solution. Thank you so much.
