From One Crash to Another: Help Andy Recover from Misfortune

Donation protected
In late November 2024, Andy's life was turned upside down when he was rear-ended on the freeway in a devastating car crash that left him injured and without a vehicle. With unwavering determination, he leaned on his only backup (a second, older car) to get to work, school, and care for his child. But life dealt him another blow. That car broke down soon after, leaving him stranded once more. Desperate to keep up with his responsibilities, Andy was forced to take out a loan he couldn't afford to purchase another car in March 2025. He continued pushing forward, juggling a full-time job, a part-time job, school as a biology major, and fatherhood. Then, on May 8th, 2025, tragedy struck again. While parked safely on the side of the road, his new car was violently hit by a lifted, white Ford F-150 truck in a suspected DUI hit-and-run. Witnesses saw the driver flee the scene, but the police say there's nothing they can do. The car has been declared totaled. Insurances refuses to cover the full damages, and Andy is still stuck paying off the loan for a vehicle he no longer has. Now, he faces the crushing reality of needing yet another car and another loan just to survive. Andy never asks for help, but he needs it now more than ever. Please consider supporting this hardworking father who's endured more than anyone should.
