Position of a relative clause

Hello everyone. I have a sentence for which I need help.

"I bought a car last year by working hard in spite of bad life situations." and " I sold the car for my family in some needs."

How can I combine them?

Is this "I sold the car which I bought last year by working hard in spite of bad life situations for my family."

or

"I sold the car for my family, which I bought last year by working hard in spite of bad life situations."

I think, the last one is better because for the first one, the connection between "for my family" and "the main sentence" is lost. The distance between them is too long.

What do you think?
