Help Matthew Repair His Car and Life as he is disabled

Donation protected
My name is Matthew. I've been struggling now for over four years. I'm alone in the world. My parents are gone. My dad died when I was 17, and my mom died in 2020, which is right around the time my life went off the rails. I do admit that when I was in my 30s, I was still a boy. I didn't become a man until my ex abandoned me in 2022, and I had to leave her parents' house with all my belongings in my old busted 2004 Outback. I lived in the Outback for many months until it died. Then I parked it and just wandered around for days. I was at rock bottom. The thoughts going through my mind were insane.

But something in me kept driving me. I made calls. I got into supportive housing. After six months, I got my own apartment and two different jobs. I furnished the apartment and then finally got a new 2022 Malibu LT, which is a beautiful car. Best car I've ever owned. Huge payment every month, but I've been making it, although I'm unable to work a normal job because of a chronic wound on my foot. The gig work is doable for me since it's driving.

On Friday, I was in a car accident that wasn't my fault. When I bought the car, there wasn't any floor mat on the driver's side. I now know why. They have a tendency to slide up and hit the accelerator. That's exactly what happened. I tried slowing down for the toll booth, and it hit the gas. By instinct, I hit the brake harder, and it just hit the gas harder, so I flew over the curbs, blowing out my tires and bending the passenger side control arm. It doesn't seem to be totaled. Everything is working otherwise.

But with how much I'm struggling, I cannot afford my $1000 deductible. I have about $450. I would be so appreciative if anyone could help. ANYTHING helps. I hate doing this, and I've never created one of these. I just have no other option. My family is all gone. I'm alone in this world, trying to make it. Please, from the bottom of your heart, all it takes is a $5-$10 donation. Enough of them will ensure I get back on the road and continue to better myself.
