Rotors can be bent back into reasonably good shape with a large adjustable jaw wrench. ( Crescent wrench) Maybe it's time to have a friendly shop mechanic show you how to do this stuff on your own. Might cost you the price of a rim and a sixer of brew. By the way, you don't have to use a "disc specific" rim. Any decent quality eyeletted rim will do. May not match, but in the long run, you've got a ridable bike, and time to save for the real thing. Good luck!
