Car is on its last leg

Please help me! My car is my sole means of transportation and I need it to get to and from college. The hearter core burnt up, the spark plugs are all but completely toast, and the catalytic converter is damaged beyond repair. I have most of the money I need to pay for these repairs, but being in college, I don't have it all. I only have one year left of college before I start med school. Soon enough, I'll be able to pay for these things without help, but right now, I am asking for help from all of you. The decent people in this world, whe one's who actually took their time to find this site and read this. Please, anything helps.
