Help Get Family Car Again
Donation protected
In the early morning of January 20, 2022, my sister was involved in a terrifying accident with her children. She was driving down the highway when she noticed smoke and flames coming from the vehicle. As a result, she pulled over to check on what was happening. As soon as she opened her driver's side door, flames that were knee height began to appear. She immediately shut her door and took action to get her family out safely. She then directed her 14-year-old son to grab his sleeping 10-year-old sister out of the backseat. He was able to run out on the passenger's side of the vehicle with his sister. During this time, my sister attempted to unbuckle her 5-year-old daughter from her car seat. Thankfully, she was able to get her out quickly and bring them both out the passenger's side as well. Within a one-minute span of them escaping, the car was engulfed in flames.
We are so grateful that our family is alive and well. However, they have suffered a significant loss by losing their family vehicle. My sister is a single mother of three with a bonus daughter (who was not in the car during the accident). The children lost all of their school belongings in the fire and the car seat for the youngest.
Any donations are greatly appreciated as we build up from this terrifying morning.
