Help Us Get a Safe Car for Our Family

I hate doing this but I am going to swallow my pride and just do it. We have a vehicle that is on its last leg and the transmission is about to go any day now. My fiancee works his butt off at work but it covers bills and necessities and it's almost impossible to save. We have some saved and are actively trying to save as much as we can. I want to go back to work so bad but with this unreliable car we only can drive it to get him back and forth to work because he makes more than I would with a part time job. I have been doing some side jobs here and there as much as possible. We don't have any family or anyone that can help us. Our credit isn't great but we tried going to a dealership and got pre-approved but they want us to have a cosigner and again back to not having any family we have Noone that would do that for us. I just want to raise enough to get a little cheap reliable car before my kids go back to school. We live right outside the school district so they need to be drove daily. My son is starting football this year and high school and I want to have something safe so I can get him to all of his things so he can have the best high school experience possible. I will post the whole process of buying a car and any receipts or anything I need to if I'm able to raise this money for a safe vehicle. Please if you can find it in your heart to even donate $1, $5 whatever you can do. If we are able to get a new car it will change our lives and make it better in so many ways!
