Help Peyton Rebuild After Her Car Accident
Donation protected
Dear Friends, Family, and Community,
I’m reaching out today on behalf of my best friend and roommate, Peyton who was involved in a life-changing car accident this past Monday.
While driving, a deer unexpectedly crossed her path. Being the animal lover that she is, Peyton swerved to avoid hitting the deer. Unfortunately, this caused her to lose control of her car, which flipped twice and slammed into a retaining wall. By a miracle, she survived the crash with no major external injuries. However, her body endured significant internal bruising, and she will be out of commission for several weeks as she recovers from this traumatic event.
The situation:
While Peyton's physical recovery will take time, she is also facing the hardship of not having a car for her daily needs, including her volunteer ministry. As a recent transplant to New York from California, Peyton moved here with the hope of pursuing a volunteer work, something that she is truly passionate about. However, due to a misunderstanding with her insurance policy when switching from California to New York coverage, her collision insurance was not carried over. This means that the insurance will not cover the cost of replacing her vehicle, leaving her without a way to get around and putting a strain on her already difficult recovery.
Why We Need Your Help:
Peyton has always been the one to show up for others, whether it's through her volunteer work or her kindhearted nature. She’s the first to offer a listening ear, lend a hand, or give someone a place to stay. Now, in her time of need, it's our turn to help her.
We are asking for support to help Peyton cover:
- Medical expenses and ongoing treatments for her recovery
- A replacement vehicle to help her get back to work and continue pursuing her volunteer passions
- Living expenses as she won’t be able to work for the next several weeks due to her physical condition
Anything you can contribute, whether it’s $5, $50, or more, would mean the world to Peyton and all of us who care about her. Your generosity will help her get back on her feet and back to doing what she loves—helping others.
We know that times are tough for many, and any donation, no matter the size, will make a huge impact. Your support, whether financial or emotional, is more appreciated than words can express.
Thank you for being here for Peyton during this traumatic time. Let’s show her the same love, care, and compassion she’s always shown others. She is such a bright light in this world, and together, we can help her get through this.
With heartfelt gratitude,
Chace & the Friends and Family of Peyton Gravelle
