Homeless Survivor
Donation protected
I lived in my old Chevy for four years, owned it for sixteen years. I had everything that I own in it. I begged on the street for repair money, to keep it going. I was hit by a woman driving the wrong way on the highway, and almost killed. She hit me so hard, I was blinded and sent into a major tailspin. I am phobic about going to a hospital, so I didn't go. I was in shock, nowhere to go, worried about my home (my car) being destroyed. Her insurance company, Liberty Mutual, were complete horrors. They would not reimburse for even half of my car, none for my storage, or even stuff that broke in my trunk. I have been traumatized since! I tried to get a copy of the police report, DMV kepy lying, saying they would send it. It never came, and they refuse to even refund the $8.00 that I paid, for a service not rendered. They said to go through the police. I did, no return call. Yet, Liberty Mutual said that they had a copy (from a third party), and she was at fault. No lawyer would take my case, because I did not have medical bills, even though I was injured. The concussion took over a month to clear, neck still hurts from the seatbelt being on. There is more to the story, but I can't take reliving it over and over. So, I still need help, and praying for it!
I never imagined being homeless, but have been for three years. I spend any money I get on fixing my car, that is my home. It has costs me over two thousand in one year (not including gas and insurance). Now, I am raising money for me, new bifocals are a must at this point. I ended up on the street after years of caring for others, my Mom for fifteen years, and a raging abusive drunk for twelve years. I sacrificed too much, without even getting a thank you. My immediate family all died, I was being abused while trying to grieve. Help me make this very long nightmare end! Thank you, I appreciate every dime!
