My car won't start unless it gets a jump, but then the battery doesn't keep a charge.

Hello,
How long have you waited before trying to restart (after the successful jump start and shut off) ?
This could be due to a bad battery. As if you are able to jump start it and the engine runs normal, but after shut off you are unable to restart it then, the issue is likely battery.
Have you tested the battery to see if it is bad?
