Help Me Keep A Piece Of My Dad

Donation protected
Hi, my name is Zoe as most of you know my Dad passed away in a motorcycle accident on April 27th, 2024. He was doing only 30mph when a Dodge Durango cut out in front of him, he collided with the side of the Durango and was then forced into on coming traffic and was again hit by a second car. He died instantly. Unfortunately, because of the carelessness of a driver I’m forced to now pick up the pieces and try to move forward with my life and honor my Dad as much as I know how. I miss him every day, he is and was the best Daddy a girl could ever ask for, he was a single dad and he worked so hard to give me everything he could, even when times were hard he never let me feel it, He is my HERO. The only thing I wanted more then anything after I got the phone call that day was the gold chain he wore around his neck every single day, he never took it off, it was a piece of him and he worked so hard to buy that for himself. Unfortunately, it was stolen off of his body after the accident and no one can tell me where it is, who has it, nothing, the police have no answers for me. It was another hit to my soul when they handed me his belongings and it was not in there yet it was marked on the bag as having been on him when he passed, it was even confirmed by the detective that he was wearing it at the scene of the accident. I can’t even describe the ups and downs I have been through. The only other thing left that I can even think to keep, that is a piece of him is his truck, we had so many memories in his truck road trips, windows down, singing at the top of our lungs, to music he loved, even all my girly music he sang it with me, teaching me how to drive, hitting curbs, learning how to park, being terrified of failing my test because it was such a big truck, and him telling me “you can do it princess, you’ve got this”. I can’t imagine losing it, it feels like it’s the only thing I have left now. I can’t afford to keep it, I’m trying so hard to hold on to it but I can’t afford it by myself. I know he wouldn’t want me to be in debt just to try to hold on to a piece of him but I can’t help it, I feel like I have to. I’m asking for help even if you can’t donate please share. Please help me keep my Daddy’s truck, I can’t lose it too.
