Help transporting an injured raccoon (on the eastside)

Hi. I know this is a bit crazy but I am not sure what else to do. I live on the Eastside and we have a young raccoon in our yard that is not well. He is very lethargic and wobbly. I called PAWS and they said that if I can take him there tomorrow morning, they will take him and treat him. If nothing can be done, at least they will euthanize him so he is not suffering. The issue is that my car is not working and is at the mechanic so I can’t drive him. I called animal control, Washington wildlife, animal services and talked to my neighbors and no one will help. 🙁

I was wondering if anyone is willing to drive this raccoon if he is still there tomorrow morning? PAWS is closed now and will open at 8am. They are in Snohomish. I can help contain him in a plastic box that will be safe for transport. If not, do you have any leads to people who do this kind of thing, even if it’s just a facebook group of crazy animal lovers/rescuers, etc. please let me know.

If you know any other way I can help him so he’s not suffering and slowly dying for days, I would also appreciate it (please don’t suggest that I kill him myself because I’ve already been crying for an hour and I can’t even kill a spider).
