On Tuesday 9/2/2025 Jimmy was involved in a motor vehicle accident that left him with injuries and out of work for the near future. His van that he uses to tour is a total loss.

I asked Jimmy for permission to create this campaign to help raise funds for his next months of expenses and to find another van in the budget. We just need to get him back on his feet again so he can get back to doing what he does best, creating art on and off the stage for bands and fans alike. There is another vehicle on his property, but it is in dire need or repairs, smog and registration. Hopefully we can obtain a used van but its a backup option 100%.

Note from Jimmy on the accident:

"Life took an unexpected turn.. Thankful to be alive.

What I thought was going to be a quick trip to get some propane became a scary situation quickly. My van hydroplaned going about 30 mph and started to fishtail into the opposite side of the road and go up a hillside. It did a 360 and as it started to straighten out when the tire on the drivers side hit an embankment causing the vehicle to flip and roll anywhere between 1-3 times.. I honestly can’t remember.. Thankful that I didn’t have my dog Chiquita with me at that moment. I was rushed to the hospital with minor injuries, left arm is banged up and has limited use and I got (3) staples in my head. No broken bones, no concussions. I’m not exactly sure where to go from here at the moment.. I’ve been recovering slowly just taking it a day at time."

Furthermore:

"Jimmy Ovadia's art leads us on a transformative psychedelic odyssey full of unique and creative dreamlike portholes. It takes the mind through twists and turns perceived through levels of consciousness and mysticism."
