Help Lillie Replace what was lost in her car fire

Donation protected
Yesterday our daughter was in an accident that was unavoidable. She was traveling down a local highway and a van kept riding with his turn signal on , she watched as several cars passed him and as she had the thought to do the same, the van slammed on his breaks, hard enough that his trailer fish-tailed. She hit the back of the trailer causing little impact damage as she was only driving approx 25 MPH per the State Trooper. However, the trailer had multiple cans of gasoline on it and the van was carrying paint and paint thinner. The impact along with the flammable liquids made the perfect recipe for ignition. Within seconds her car ignited on the passenger side first, allowing her to escape harm free which we are SO thankful for. Within minutes the whole car and its contents were gone. This child has been saving her money since she was 14 and half to pay for her own car. She came to us wanting to buy her own as I finished nursing school so we didn't have the burden of buying her one. She works hard every week about 10-20 hours weekly to save most of her money, she maintains a 4.4 GPA, stays involved in church and school activities as well as playing a part of making our house function by cooking dinner and helping with her younger siblings. She is a December baby resulting in birthday and Christmas all coming together. She walked away from the fire unharmed with only her phone in her hand, but had to leave behind her wallet containing all her gift cards from her birthday and Christmas, the tires she asked for from her Dad and I for her birthday are now melted to the road, her bag, her air pods all the things she has bought herself are gone and as thankful as we are that she's ok, its a kick in the gut to a kid who is trying to do all the right things in a time where most kids aren't. After talking to the insurance company and going over the policy it will be a total loss for her. We carried only liability only since the car was paid for. I am hoping to not replace her car with a go fund me but show her the love of a community to a kid who feels like she has lost everything she's worked hard for. She loves big everyday and radiates the love of Jesus, she gives the best hugs you will find and will love your babies as her own anytime she gets. If your heart leads you to donate $5 or $10 dollars we will be grateful, if you can't please just share incase her story leads someone else. I never ask for help, its not who I am, but I do want to prove to my child that there is still good in this world and your hard work never goes unnoticed.
