Need a car for work

Hi everyone, I am a single mother of two children. Until recently I was stuck on benefits. I really badly wanted to work but the jobcentre said there was no point till my youngest was at school full time. That's not for another 3 years!
Despite their poor support and giving me lots of wrong information I worked really hard to set up my own business and finally get free from living off welfare after years of feeling bored and frustrated. I have set up a holistic therapy business and I am getting lots of clients and they are recommending me to friends and I am getting lots of rebookings. But things are always shaky when you don't know how many clients you will have booked in a month from now and I have two children to support. I have been offered regular work but I am going to have to turn it down if I don't get a car soon to be able to transport my equipment there. Also, if I have a car I can do mobile therapy work and attract clients from further afield.
I have worked so hard to get to where I am and am doing really well considering I haven't been going that long but things are at a standstill now without a car and that is where this crowdfunder comes in. I desperately need some money for a car, tax and insurance so I can build my business and take on the regular work. Regular work is like the holy grail for self employed peeps like me and I can't afford to lose out on it.
Please help, your money would make such a difference to the lives of my children because I will be able to get more work and provide properly for them. I had a crowdfunder before to help me get my business off the ground to begin with but I didn't reach my target. With this site though I receive whatever the end amount is and every little bit helps right now. Thanks so much!

Update posted by Fran Parkus at 03:01 amOn a bright note this week, I had a new client. She is a dancer in the new production of Shrek in Leeds. She was so impressed with the treatment she took a pile of my cards and leaflets with her to hand out amongst the cast and crew. It's. . . . .

Update posted by Fran Parkus at 03:00 amI spent 8.5 hours 'at work' yesterday, but only 2.5 hours of that was actually work. The rest of the time was spent waiting for buses, sitting on buses and walking to and from the bus stop to get to my actual destination and back to the bus stop afterwards.. . . . .
So close!
Update posted by Fran Parkus at 02:58 amThank you so much to everyone who has helped and supported me. I am so close to being able to get a car. I have sourced a really good deal on a second hand car that is perfect for my needs. The only stumbling block now is insurance! Because I. . . . .
