If you are lucky it will only be a loose battery connection.

I don't think anybody has mentioned this yet, but i think your battery might be done. 100 %.

In your first post it sounded like the car ran fine after you jumped it in which case it most definitely sounds like the battery. However if you are saying it won't even stay running now then it sounds more like a lose connection. Check all the battery connections first
