Help Shaun and Son Recover from Car Accident

Donation protected

Hello, my name is Shaun, and I’m reaching out during one of the most difficult times in my life. On October 24, 2024, my 8-year-old son and I were involved in a devastating car accident, struck head-on by an unlicensed teen driver who ran a red light at over 55 miles per hour. In a heartbeat, our lives were turned upside down, and we find ourselves in urgent need of your support.

The crash was not only terrifying but also left us both with significant injuries. We are grappling with physical pain and emotional trauma, and our car, which was our lifeline, was completely totaled. While the insurance company has agreed to provide a payout, we are left with a $5,000 balance due to not having gap insurance. To add to our struggles, the only coverage the teen's mother has is liability, which means we are left to shoulder our losses alone.

Although we were able to secure a rental car for a short seven days as we continue to fight with the insurance company for an extension until the claim is resolved, we now face a daunting reality. We urgently need at least $2,000 to get into a new vehicle and the $5,000 to settle the remaining loan on our totaled car.

My wife and I have been diligently working to rebuild our credit with dreams of owning a home, but this accident has set us back significantly. To make matters worse, just days ago, on November 5, 2024, I received the heartbreaking news that my job can no longer accommodate me, and I’ve lost my position. We never imagined we would find ourselves in such a vulnerable situation, and it’s incredibly difficult for us to ask for help, but we are reaching out to our community with hope in our hearts.

We would be truly grateful for any assistance you can provide, and we ask that you keep us in your thoughts and prayers during this challenging time. Thank you for your kindness and
