My van is so beat up but hey its still running so I'll keep driving it

I got my van from my father in law when my ex and I were together he gave it to us. Its not legally in our name and so far I havent had to pay the insurance on it but pretty soon that will be taken care of. Anyway my van is so awful the way it looks. The seats are so torn you can see the cushion material underneath that even has big holes in it. I just ordered pretty inexpensive seat covers for the front seats so they will look a little better and hopefully keep them from falling apart anymore. The dashboard light does not work. Right now I guess I have a tail light or brake lights out or something that I keep forgetting to have checked and fixed. The drivers side door hatch is frozen so I cant get in or out. The gasket on the back doors leaks so bad that when it rains you can watch the water pour in. The sliding door got damaged a year ago when I hit a guardrail so lately it has been stuck open and I had to wrap a bungee cord around it to keep it from flying open totally when we drive. Its still open about 2 inches so I am going to have to go out and use a screwdriver and try to close it so I can take the kids shopping today. I cannot wait till everything gets fixed. I had the repair shop order a used door but my van is white and the door is blue lol. Oh well at least the door will shut correctly after that. Last time I took it to the shop I had a new tire put on, a door handle fixed, and the door hatch unfroze. That was a few hundered to have all that done. Just getting the used door is going to be $215 that doesnt include labor or anything else that will need to be fixed. I am a stay at home mom I get no child support and have very little money so this is really going to be hard on my kids and I but we need a vehicle to drive and I cant keep having the kids and myself climb in and out of the front passenger door. Have you driven a vehicle like this or worse lol?
