Hello - there a number of possibilities for a "no start" condition: dead or weak battery, ignition switch, starter solenoid or motor. I would recommend a starting system inspection by a mobile, professional mechanic, such as one from YourMechanic, who will come to your location, diagnose this problem, give you an accurate assessment of damage and cost estimate for repairs.
