Emergency Relief from Car Accident

Donation protected
I'm Taversia, and my significant other, Andrew, was in a wreck. He was t-boned by another vehicle, which flipped his car. Thankfully, he was not at fault and neither he nor the other driver were seriously injured. Unfortunately however, this event has taken away our primary source of income.

Andrew drives for Uber, working long hours every day. I am a full-time student (11 credits over the summer; 17 credits this fall term), and while I am sometimes able to invest time and energy into odd jobs, I just don't make enough to pick up the slack.

We need a new car ASAP, and Uber's strict specifications requires that his vehicle be no older than 10 years, among other features it must have.

Uber is our best option right now since there's no set hours—Andrew can work as often as his health will allow. It is thanks to him that we have a roof over our heads, and that I am able to attend school at UC Berkeley. Any funds received will go toward a new car, and/or bills that we are unable to manage for however long he is out of work.

ALTERNATIVELY AND/OR ADDITIONALLY, I also have a Patreon page you can join in exchange for daily exclusive updates into my work. I am a performance & visual artist, and membership entails a monthly fee that you choose… even $1. Funding is less immediate by this method, but every bit helps (and I do feel better about asking for financial support this way, as I am doing a "job"/taking commissions):

I have not seen anyone work near as hard as Andrew. He is one of the most selfless and generous people I know, and every day I am a better person because of his immeasurable support and inspirational ambition. He dreams of going to medical school, but has placed his studies completely on hold to put me through undergrad, where I hope to make it into law school. My dream is to work in constitutional law on behalf of systemically disenfranchised demographics of people cycling the criminal justice system, and Andrew aspires to someday work in neuroscience.

I have asked for help on previous occasions, and I am always moved by the generosity and compassion of friends and strangers alike, each of whom have been instrumental in seeing us attain our goals. It would seem that what stands in the way of upward mobility, time and time again, are these unforeseeable  crises that put us further away from stability; but we are both hopeful and determined, and with your help, we have made it this far.

Whether you share, donate, or support my artistic works on the side, I am grateful for everything.

Warm regards,

~Tavi
