Help Rebuild After Two Devastating Accidents
Donation protected
Hate having to ask for help but I am at a loss on what to do at this point. I want to start by saying thank you for any help that might be given to me, it means more than you know.
Many years ago I suffered a massive stroke which left me unable to work as a welder. As the years went on I was able to learn to drive again on top of not only walking and being able to take care of myself. It has been difficult finding jobs where I wouldn’t be on my feet all day.
I was finally able to find a job where I wasn’t on my feet and was able to still connect with people like I did when I was working before my stroke. I am a driver for Uber and Lyft, which means my car is how I make my income.
On March 2, 2025 I was in a really bad car accident (not my fault and no ticket was issued to me). I was hospitalized for 4 days with multiple injuries including internal bleeding. Once I was released from the hospital I was told by my insurance company that my car was totaled. So now I have no source of income and I have to find a new vehicle. About 3 months later I was finally able to get a new car and be able to start getting back on my feet again.
However, on June 19th, 2025 I was in another bad car accident (once again not my fault and again no ticket issued to me). I was hit in the rear back quarter panel of my car, causing me to spin and hit a median. This time I was in the hospital for 5 days, having more injuries than I did from the first accident that I was still recovering from. Once again I received the dreaded phone call from my insurance company telling me that my new car was totaled.
So, now here I am drained of all my funds with no source of income once again in a 4 month period. I am here asking you that if you are able to donate anything to help me be able to get by, and back on my feet it is greatly appreciated. Thank you and hopefully I am rounding the bend and onto getting back on my feet.
