Life can change in a moment, and right now Ariana and her family are facing an unexpected hardship that has completely disrupted their daily lives.

Ariana was recently involved in a serious car accident that resulted in her vehicle being completely totaled. Thankfully, she survived the accident, but the loss of her car has created an overwhelming financial and logistical crisis for her household.

Ariana works full-time as a delivery service driver and provides roughly 80% of her household’s income. Her vehicle wasn’t just transportation — it was her livelihood. Without it, she is currently unable to work and support her family the way she always has.

In addition to being the primary income earner, Ariana is also the main source of transportation for her children. Her 18-year-old son, Tanner, has worked incredibly hard at his full-time job for nearly a year, missing only two days during that entire time. Unfortunately, he lives in one county while his job is located in another, making public transportation impossible as an option. Without reliable transportation, his ability to continue working is now at risk.

Her younger son, Tristan (15), also depends on Ariana for daily transportation and stability during this difficult time.

To make matters more challenging, Ariana and her partner Sally were only covered by personal injury protection insurance. This means there will be no insurance payout to help replace the vehicle. Sally is currently on disability and receives only minimal income, leaving the household with very limited financial resources while they try to recover from this sudden setback.

Right now, the family needs help covering essential bills and securing reliable transportation so Ariana can return to work and Tanner can continue getting to his job.

Anyone who knows Ariana knows she is a hardworking, dedicated mother who always puts her family first. This situation was completely unexpected, and they are now asking for support during a time when they truly need their community.
