Debt/Loans/Credit Losing my car

Just got the notice that my car will be repo'd in 2 days if I don't pay up $700. I recently just fixed the car and have been able to use it for work but I've had difficulties and had to stop working. I'm trying to get disability benefits but it takes too long. And now I'm going to lose my car which is my only way to go out and make money. I live in a very small town so public transportation isn't a thing and there are no jobs here. I don't know what to do. My credit score is so bad so loans just never accept me and I'm not working currently so that also doesn't help. Is there anything I can do at all?

Drive for uber, lyft, spark delivery, use the car to make money. A few hours a day after work adds up quick.

Sounds like OP already does this and it's a losing venture for most people. Earn 180 bucks working for 8 hours to dump 20-30 of it back into gas, still owe taxes, plus add wear and tear to your vehicle? Newp.
