Help Graham replace car and items lost in fire

Donation protected
I woke up on the morning of 10/19 to find my car and belongings had been melted to smithereens by an unknown suspect during the night. I slept through the entire event as my car was parked a couple streets away, but multiple witnesses saw it all happen. I don't have a confirmed full story, but from what I have been told, a woman smoked a cigarette in my car after breaking into it at 4 AM. At some point, the car caught on fire and proceeded to explode after the fire reached my gas tank, lighting another car and tree nearby as well.
 
It was a terrible event that left me speechless. Not only did I lose my car, but a trunk full of belongings that are irreplaceable to me. It's emotionally rattling that something like this can happen at any point without cause, especially when you feel safe in the area you're living in.
 
My car, the Green Machine, was an old body with a lot of life left in it. Just the other day I was telling my girlfriend Lexi how I plan on running this thing into the ground. It turns out the PDX homelessness issue had different plans.
 
I am extremely thankful nobody was hurt in this event and that fact is a great sliver lining in this mess.
 
Now, I am looking for any financial assistance to help find myself a new car. I will be receiving some money from insurance, but not nearly enough to cover the cost of a car and for all the belongings that were lost in the fire. I am currently a full time student and have been hit pretty hard by this event. Anything is appreciated and thank you to everyone that has been sending me messages.
 
Sincerely,
 
Graham Savage

I attached a video of the fire occurring at 4:30 in the morning. It is quite the watch.
