Creative & Caregiver in Crisis

Hi, my name is Zaniera James, and I’m a behavior technician for kids with disabilities, as well as a passionate creative pursuing my dreams in the arts. Recently, my car—while legally parked and unoccupied—was completely destroyed in a fire caused by someone irresponsibly playing with fireworks.

This was a devastating and unexpected loss. I use my car every day to work with children who need me, often traveling between schools, programs, and homes. It’s also my main form of transportation for pursuing my creative projects and events. My car wasn’t just a vehicle—it was my lifeline, my freedom, and my sanity.

I’ve worked so hard for everything I have, and to see it go up in flames for something I had no control over is heartbreaking. I’m asking for support to help me get back on my feet and recover from this loss. Any amount helps, and I appreciate your kindness more than words can say.

Any amount helps—whether it’s $5 or just sharing this with someone who can help. I’m deeply grateful for your support.
