Demolished KIA due to Black ice !

Hello, I'm Juanita, am 67 . THIS IS NOT A SCAM...I HAVE PROOF, IF NEEDED, OF WHAT HAPPENED !
As the photo shows, I ended up in a ditch hanging upside down hanging from my seatbelt, which did its job and held me in it. This happened on Christmas day, 12/25/22, while doing a dog transport, which I do sometimes to make a little extra money, to WA. But unfortunately, in OR I hit a patch of black ice and flipped my car. Some good Samaritans came and helped me out of the car. Thanks be to GOD, I was able to walk and no outside injuries. Sheriff arrived and Ambulance arrived I and was taken to the hospital under a TRAUMA ALERT because they assumed I had unseen injuries and they were correct, Had 4 broken ribs and had my spleen removed ! Was released on 1/8/23. Have been staying with a good friend to rest and heal. Has been a very painful time and I'm still healing, emotionally and physically from all this but am so THANKFUL to GOD for bringing me through it ALIVE !
UPDATE 4/30/23:
Have basically healed and am ready to get back to doing my animal transports and Uber Eats also..which I used to do in between animal transports. All I need is a vehicle!

Found out on same day, when I called to report accident, that my car insurance had been cancelled on 12/14/22 so they will not pay for anything !!! I am going to have the case reviewed because I had not received a cancellation notice from them and they still accepted payments after I had supposedly been cancelled. I would not have been driving if I knew that I did not have car insurance!! With all this, I am going to be responsible for paying for the Kia. Thankfully, my MEDICARE is paying for the medical bills.. I am not happy about that fact, because I think the Insurance should be paying the bills.. I live on Social Security and SSI, which is just over $1000. a month ! Which means I have a big mess on my hands. So, I am needing some help to get another car so I can take care of things that need to be done.

I have a lot of Dr. Appts to go to due to my other health problems and it's very hard for me to get around to catch a bus and walking due to my back problems, which includes Scoliosis and fused vertebrae! And without a car I can not make extra to help pay bills. I don't need a brand new car . Just one that is safe and is problem free . My Kia was a 2019 and had only had it for 5 months.
With me now responsible for paying the car off, I'm not going to get anyone to finance me. And I can't afford a down payment or the payments on the car, so want to just pay cash for it !
So you can see why I am asking for help ! It is really an emergency....I need to get back to what I had been doing ...and it's impossible without a car !

So..please...if you can help me in any way...It would be a Godsend and I will be eternally grateful.
I have always helped others in any way that I could in my life that needed help. So now...I'm asking for help !!! Any amount will be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your help. If you.
If you have any questions, please ask .
