Just to bring up another point of view as to what you could do next, you might consider doing nothing to fix it for now and just start learning to play it. If the cracks are not getting any worse and nothing is causing any rattles or buzzes you’re good to go. Nothing said so far tells me that you will increase the playability or sound of the instrument.
Maybe have a local luthier fix the one crack you can see and change the strings yourself. You can get a device that will help you tune the instrument for about $10. There are endless videos about how to change the strings and lots of information on this board about different strings to try. High-quality set of strings will run you five to $10.
Do you really need or want to put time and money between you and when you can enjoy this uke? I think that might be the useful first question to ask.
