Job, Shelter, Car Destroyed in Accident
Donation protected
My doggy Darwin and I were hit by a giant Escalade on Sunday March 8th. The driver was running a light to get on the freeway and my livelihood, with everything I owned was predictably totaled. Having no vehicle is an inconvenience for most people however for me, it has literally devastated and upended each facet of my little life and its already tenuous equilibrium.
My car, first and foremost, had become my literal home (as of 11/05/2019) and provided a safe, warm place for my dog and I to exist at a time when existing everywhere outside of that small, cramped space felt awkward and scary. I was grateful I had somewhere that still held its shape for me in a world I’ve never felt I fit well into.
And alas, the final nail In the car accident-coffin, it was also my place of business and only means of income. I worked long hours every day that I was physically able to. Driving and working this way was the only source of financial security and support I had and having it to keep my mind occupied definitely gave me a sense of purpose that I took for granted now that I am truly without it for the first time.
I am sure there are sadder stories out there and I am trying hard to find a silver lining but tonight is cold and quiet but most troubling, pointless and idle.
I appreciate anything and everything as always and so does my cute, annoying dog who has been on this terrifically sad adventure with me from day one! My biggest hope would be that I can find, raise, beg, sweat and scream a cheap car into existence so that I can continue where I was before, working towards a home for my human son and obnoxious non-human doggy to fall into when the day is through.
