A few weeks ago I was in a car accident. Thankfully everyone was ok. The lady who hit me immediately came to my car and asked if we were ok. She was a bit disheveled and very apologetic. As she wrote down her information she said, "I'm so sorry, I didn't even see you." I reassured her that it's ok and I called the police and waited for them to arrive.

As I waited, I saw her sitting in her older model car, with four dogs and a lot of stuff. She looked troubled so I went over and asked if she was ok. She said she was fine, that it didn't hit that hard for her. I said, "how are you doing emotionally? She put her head down and said, "I'm going through a little rough patch right now" and began to cry. I approached the window of her car and her dogs started barking so she got out and walked over to me. She said, I'm so thankful my car is drivable because I'm living in it.

She explained that she was on disability and had been living in her trailer home for years on a fixed income. The trailer park she lived in was sold and the new owners had new guidelines that she couldn't afford to meet so she was evicted and living in her car.

I told her that I have been through a few rough patches in my life and because of that I help others who are going through rough patches. I told her that I'm actually going through a rough patch right now but that we are going to be alright. We will make it through this. She thanked me for sharing and said, what are the odds I run into you. "You literally ran into me" I said jokingly and she laughed and gave me a hug.

I texted her the next day to see how she was doing and she said she was weepy but doing ok. It's been weighing on me so I decided to do what I try to do in my life and turn tragedy into opportunity and raise money to help her get through this rough patch. I need your help to do this so I ask you to give what you can however little it may be and I ask you to SHARE this in your social media with your friends and help make this happen for her. We can do this, but I need your help.
