I hear you.
It's not going to be a quick fix but the cause has to be found first, then the repair.
Only source is the transmission cooler in the radiator or a gasket on the motor.
Since you overheated I would assume a head gasket has blown pumping hot combustion gas into the cooling system.
A compression check should reveal the cylinder and bank the cause.
Might as well plan on a rental car or some other transportation until it's fixed and a credit card.
Find a reputable shop.
I don't know any way to say it easier.
Good luck.
