Help Daniel recover from car accident
Doação protegida
On March 6th, I was on the way to meet a friend at Harbin's Hot Spring's when my 2001 sr5 Toyota 4runner's front bumper came loose and went under a tire, sending me sideways and into the guard rail, which then failed, sending me flipping and somersaulting multiple times down approximately 150 feet into a ravine. The 4runner came to rest on its side, somehow with only one broken window. After I got over the initial shock enough to look around, I was able to self extricate and climb back up onto the highway to flag down help. Thank goodness for a well constructed 4runner!
My trusty dependable 4runner is totaled of course, and due to an error with the insurance company almost nothing is going to be covered, including the $1200 tow fee I had to pay just to be able to retrieve my belongings from the wreckage. After many tests including x rays, cat scans etc, it has been determined that I have minor whiplash, a locked up shoulder and general PTSD from the incident. As I recover the main struggle has been dealing with the loss of the vehicle, and medical bills stacking up related to the incident that my insurance has said they will not cover (that's what I get for getting the minimum legal coverage I guess)
After talking with several other people who have been through similar situations, I am realizing that its normal to have anxiety attacks, nightmares and agoraphobia that only set in after the initial shock wears off, and even simple tasks have become difficult. This is compounded that I also need to find a new place to live in the next couple of months.
I am grateful to have a new job opportunity and lots of exciting things on the horizon, but not having a dependable safe vehicle and a sudden large amount of debt has created a big financial setback. These factors have made it difficult to focus on work and starting my business.
My estimation is that to replace the vehicle with one of a similar value and condition will be $8-10K, and to pay off everything that won't be covered by insurance will be at least $5K, not counting the expenses that I have fallen behind on by being unable to work consistently, so I am hoping to raise $15K
I am asking for whatever you can comfortably contribute, a share, or your prayers. I will use the funds to secure a safe dependable vehicle, get out from under this debt, and get a head start on new career opportunities. I've always been one to do my best to just keep soldiering on no matter what, but loving friends have convinced me to reach out to community to get through this crisis.
