Some churches also have home repair programs. Christmas in Action is another organization that provides volunteers for home repairs.
As to the car and taxes, I don't know of any help there - maybe others here will know of some agency that might help. This is a tough issue.
A social worker might have some suggestions, as might your county's aging/senior services, if that kind of department exists. It does vary by county.
Wish I could offer more suggestions but I just don't know of any way to get financial assistance other than what I've written.
For home repairs, ask about the county run weatherization program.
