Not sure if thread is serious. Either way, define "broke." Snag up that free rim in the market right now, just pay for shipping. look for used deals, build the wheels yourself. You should be able to snag a front hub anywhere for hella cheap. You may have to make compromises depending on access to parts / cost.
Keep an eye on pink bike and this forums market. May take a month or two, but you'll be able to piece together something used, albiet probably pretty decent quality, on the cheap.
