[Request] Need Assistance so i don't lose my job!

I'd like to take the time to tell you about MY 2003 Ford Focus. About 2 weeks ago, The ignition on my focus locked up. My mothers boyfriend tried to help me figure out what was wrong and how i could fix it. He was stumped. I looked up online what to do for it and it said it is a common problem in my car. I found a quick fix that would work temporarily until i could pay to get it fixed. That quick fix involved tapping the end of the key with a hammer while it was in the ignition in order to get the key to turn. That worked for the last 2 weeks. Today, i tried to get in and start my car using that method. It did not work. My dealership will fix it but will charge hundreds. A locksmith would charge me a lot to. I found an alternative. Ebay sells an ignition (Strattec 707592) that fits my car, and i've found a video on youtube that tells me step by step how to install it into my car. My only problem is i don't have the 36 dollars to purchase the part from ebay. Most of the ones i found on ebay have free and fast shipping. I start my job April 2nd with Scotts Lawn Service. If i can't get my car fixed by then i wont have reliable transportation. If i don't have reliable transportation i'm going to be fired before i make it to my first day. I am asking a kind soul if they would loan me 36 dollars via paypal, or if they could order the part themselves and just put my address as shipping, and i would be able to pay it back within the next month. Scotts Lawn Service pays decent money and benefits including a gas card to pay for gas used while working.. I'll be doing sales, which requires me to drive a lot. If anybody would be willing to help me out i would be so greatful. I Live in mooresville, IN.
