I noticed that the car was overheating, then when I would stop, and try to accelerate, it wouldnt go, but slowly start forward, I stopped to turn into a subdivision, the car died, a man looked at it, said that water is leaking into the oil, showed me, and I saw that it is, weve called some ppl, they've said that we would need to get a new engine, or head gasket needs replaced. Any suggestions? Were very low on money, and need the car to get to work and look for jobs.

Your people are probably right. Once oil and antifreeze mix in the engine, bearing surfaces are destroyed. So all needs to be looked at, and likly needs major work, or replacement.
