car caught fire

I was driving to the lake with my younger sisters and my son when smoke started coming out under the steering wheel. I quickly pulled over told the girls to get my son out and get away from the car. Popped the hood and there was flames coming out behind the steering panel. 3 minutes later my car was engulfed in flames. I no longer have a vehicle to get my 9 month old child to his doctors appointments. I no longer have a vehicle to get to work. and I don't have the money to get a new car. OH and I lost a very expensive stroller which was in the trunk!
