Found a grey squirrel on the road, been hit by a car. This was a few days ago. Been feeding him. He can't get up and I think one of his front and one of his back legs are both broken. Maybe possibly even his hip. Hes fiesty and still full of life though. I can't afford a vet and im not sure what to do.

Oh my goodness... that poor baby, thank you for getting him/her off the road and offering help. Have you tried to locate a rehabber who might be able to help? Could you post some pics of the injuries so people know what you are dealing with?
If it was hit by a car pain meds would be nice to make it more comfortable. No head injures that you can see at all? You mentioned this was a few days ago, what has he been eating? Can you tell if he's drinking water?
Hopefully there is someone in your area that might be able to help.
