Last month I got evicted and I've been sleeping in my car. I've been trying to get a job and doing some side gigs on craigslist but this week was really light. About an hour ago I started my car and it sounded really bad so I checked yhr lipstick and it's bone dry, I didn't even know I had a leak. I'm asking for enough for a quart or more of oil, I'm at a gas station and the Vw jetta oil 5w-30 is about $10 after tax. Seeing that everything I own and my shelter is the car, this is kinda devastating for me right now. Anything would be appreciated.

Update: Incredible thank you to Firm_elk9522 for getting my whole life back on track lol thank you again so much!
