Need a motor rebuild or a cheap reliable car to get children

Donation protected
Hi my name is Craig Roffey. A loving father of 2 amazing children. Both live 2 hours away.
After burying my laughter in my younger years I made a promise to myself I’d be the best dad I can be as I laid her to rest. Fighting major depression, ADHD, personality disorder, anxiety and panic attacks I have always done my best. After a divorce I lost everything, took me 3 years to be a dad whilst paying child support, which almost took my life. It damaged me mentally and physically but financially and became bankrupt and homeless.
i am still alive and have been trying so hard to rebuild my life to be the best dad I can be. Can’t do that dead and to me that’s a life sentence of punishment to my amazing and beautiful children. Can’t hold my promise by not seeing them. The water by the coast helped me keep on keepin on. As rental prices and cost of living is hard enough I have now health issues and am in and out of doctors, had surgery but urgently need to go back and fighting depression I am out of work. More surgery to come. So I am surviving every mans worst nightmares. But I am at an end and don’t know what to do. I normally help everyone else and me asking for help for myself is my last resort. My van motor blew up and is in need of a rebuild or a new motor and other works like breaks and rego. Or desperately in need of a good cheap reliable car to be able to get my children as I have done now for years. Every 2nd weekend and half holiday. Quality time together and building memories on the coast. There no cheaper rent anywhere or practice, I live a basic cheap life, get food from charities and churches. Clothing from Vinnies. But I need my van or a car to get my children. I have no money, I have sold off all I can to survive this far. But with my health and mental health I am unable to work. So I am here asking for help to raise a minimum of $8000 to recondition the motor and repairs or new motor, or a cheap reliable car that will last. None of which I have any funds for. But getting my children is most important. So I am begging for help for the first time. I’d do it alone as I always do but I am truely at an end and don’t know how else to survive this. So please can you help me. A van is incase I can’t afford a home and I’ll have a place to sleep but my kids love it as we can pack everything in it to enjoy our time together. Though getting them is most important above anything. Being homeless once before but I can’t do that again. Kids need a bed, a roof and a loving dad and I am truly trying my best in every way. @bearded_roffey on Instagram and has my whole true real life story, the love and effort I put into the kids. But I need transport and help to get it. Not sure what else to say.
