Cheryl,
It may cost you some $$$, but the longer you wait the more expensive it is going to get.
Get yourself a Locksmith or a dealership to come down make a key or 2 for you and get the show on the road.
The more you butcher things the more expensive it gets to repair, not a good move.

Pop the plastic butterfly ring off of your ignition ... Then grab vice grips and latch onto ignition and forcefully turn ignition.. it will break the cylinder but it'll start 😁
