Funds to replace stolen car

Donation protected
On December 30th, 2023, while visiting a friend in New Orleans, my Hyundai Accent was stolen. Unfortunately, it fell victim to a viral crime trend targeting Hyundai's and Kia's, where thieves use a USB cable or a screwdriver to start and steal these cars. I had no clue my car was being targeted until it was too late.

Arriving at the spot where I parked, I found police investigating an abandoned white Hyundai left running. In the spot where I had parked my car, was broken glass. Fortunately, I managed to get security footage confirming the break-in: someone drove up in a stolen white Hyundai, left it running, and then stole my car.

As some of you may know, I am a single mom relying on only my income. When I moved back to Louisiana in 2020, I was completely starting over, and my parents graciously bought me my car outright. With only liability insurance (lesson learned), I now find myself unable to afford a new car or add a monthly car payment.

I am so humbled by having to do this! The funds raised will directly contribute to securing another vehicle. Losing my car is a massive setback. Without it, commuting my son to school as well as all the other driving errands necessary when you're a mom, will be incredibly challenging until I can find a replacement.

I've witnessed the incredible support a community can provide to someone in need, and I'm hoping for that same kindness. Every donation, no matter the size, will significantly ease the financial strain caused by this unexpected loss. Your support, whether through donations or by sharing this, means the world to me!!!
