On Thursday, July 2, 2026, I was involved in an auto accident while traveling through town. Another car ran a stop sign and hit me, totaling my vehicle. While insurance will eventually help, the process could take months, leaving me and my two disabled adult daughters without reliable transportation. My daughters depend on me for rides to doctor appointments, errands, and daily commutes, so having a dependable vehicle is essential for our daily lives.

I am raising funds to help with a down payment on a reliable vehicle. I can manage monthly payments, but it took me over six months to save up for the down payment on the car that was just totaled—and I only had it long enough to pay one note. The accident has left us in a difficult position, and I am doing everything I can to work and provide for my family, but it won't be enough to cover both general expenses and a new down payment.

Any amount of a donation would be greatly appreciated. I am in desperate need of a reliable vehicle since this accident left us without one. Bumps and bruises will heal, but the insurance process could take months. I hate having to ask for help, as I am a very independent person, but life has been overwhelming lately. From the loss of children we raised as our own, to the tragic passing of my youngest sister, then my mom, and just a week ago, the man I looked to as a father for 32 years. Now, this accident has added to the challenges. If friends and supporters could contribute, it would help me build the down payment. Thank you so much for reading my story and for any help you may be so generous as to offer.
