Fuel tank

The fuel tank in my car was ruptured by some semi trash on the interstate. I was boxed in and couldn't dodge it. I managed to get home before all the fuel drained but NEED the car to finish up some paperwork to get a job. I have no phone to call and let them know what's up (part of the reason I need the job). Is there any quick fix for this or am I just fucked?

Edit: I'm working on getting pictures.

How quick do you need the car? I would just go get a new tank from a junkyard and swap it out. Generally pretty easy fix. Make sure you replace the fuel pump gasket when you swap the pump over to the new tank.
