Unless this is a private road you do not need financial assistance to repair it. All roads in a town or County, unless it is a state highway, are the responsibility of the town or county to repair and maintain. Your tax dollars pay for the maintenance of roads.
The street I live on is considered a low priority street meaning it is the last to be plowed of snow and the last to paved when they repave streets. The last two times they repaved the streets in this area they bypassed our street. A simple email to our County Councilman was all it took to have our street paved and to have the snow plows remember to plow us out when it snows.
What I suggest is you find out who is your town or county council representatives are and send them an email explaining that the street in question is in deplorable condition. You could include photo's if you wish as well.
If this road is a private road say in a condo association; I would still write the councilmen and ask for help. Remind them you do pay road maintenance taxes and the community doesn't have the funds to fix the road. It is an election year for most of the country and your community represents votes so they may be willing to fix the road in hopes of gaining your communities votes.
