Help Ronzell Recover from Vehicle Theft

Hello, my name is Ronzell, I had hoped to never create one of these crowdfunding posts, but I am currently struggling with an unfortunate event that has been emotionally, mentally and financially draining.

On the morning of October 27, 2024, my 97' Toyota 4Runner was stolen from Renton, WA. It was then recovered and impounded by Seattle PD the morning of October 29, just to be stolen later in the day from the one of the impounds. Come October 30th and 3 mentally excruciating days, my vehicle was spotted by a good samaritan in Seattle, who gave me a tip through social media. I contacted the individual and pursued the sighting finding my vehicle in rough shape. The entire vehicle was trashed with the theft(s) belongings. All personal belongings of sentimental and monetary value had been stolen or damaged beyond recovery. There was also a considerable amount of physical damage to the vehicle. The ignition and driver door lock no longer accepted my key after being forced into, wiring under the dash had been pulled and cut, the fuel tank had been drilled through and drained, the rear floorpan covering the fuel tank/pump assembly had been torn apart revealing the cut fuel lines and fuel pump wires.

There was clear evidence of drug use inside of the vehicle. The local PD officer who came to notate the stolen vehicle did a quick inspection and suggested "you should get the vehicle detailed." before allowing me to tow away the vehicle.

The excessive amounts of "used" drug devices set an immediate red flag subsequently totaling the vehicle. With all my belongings stolen and my vehicle being a health hazard, I am asking for your support to help me recover some of what was stolen from me. I am hoping to raise funds to put toward a replacement vehicle, pay off towing/impounding/licensing fees, and to replace important items that were stolen. Any amount, big or small, will be deeply appreciated and will help me go through this rough patch in my life.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story. Your support means the world to me.

With gratitude,

Ronzell Danao
