Help My Sister Recover After 3 Car Accidents
Donation protected
Hi friends, family, and kind strangers,
I’m reaching out on behalf of my incredible sister, who has been involved in more car accidents than anyone should endure in the past year and a half. She’s been rear-ended three times on the freeway, all completely out of her control — two of those by drunk drivers, one of whom (on Mother's Day Eve last year) fled the scene. The physical, emotional, and financial toll of these accidents has been overwhelming, especially as she continues to raise her three young children with strength and grace.
In the most recent accident (just one week ago), her car (a Honda CR-V) was totaled. This was the same car she had proudly paid off before losing her longtime job at the zoo during COVID — her plan was to keep it for the next 10 years to avoid another car payment. Unfortunately, the insurance payout only covers the current value of the car, which doesn’t come close to replacing it with something comparable — especially something that can safely fit three car seats in the back.
She and my brother-in-law both work physically demanding jobs and, like many families, live paycheck to paycheck in this difficult economy. On top of the mounting medical bills and missed work, they now face the urgent need to replace her reliable vehicle that she heavily depends on. She’s in recovery from lingering injuries and navigating the stress of this daunting process again.
We’re incredibly grateful she survived — and now she needs help with the next steps. I’ve started this GoFundMe to raise funds for:
- Medical expenses
- A safe and reliable family vehicle
- Support during missed work while healing
If you’re not in a position to donate, your love, prayers, and shares mean the world to us. And if you happen to be in the market for health and wellness products, you can also support her by ordering through her Arbonne site — https://www.arbonne.com/us/en/arb/AthenaRoberts they offer wonderful options like protein powder, skincare, hydration and probiotic packs, sleep sprays, and more - all of which I use and love! (Feel free to message me if you’d like the link or some samples — I’d also be happy to send some herbal goodies your way as a thank-you!)
Thank you for taking the time to read this, and for any support you're able to give — financially, emotionally, or spiritually. It all makes a difference.
With love and gratitude,
Cassandra
