Oh, Deer! Please Help Replace My Car

On Monday, May 5, 2025 I hit two deer as I was on my way to work. Despite following all road safety rules and doing my best to avoid the first, I definitely hit the second. I might have clipped the first deer as well. As you can see, my car is totaled; it's a miracle that I'm not seriously hurt or even dead.

Pluto was my first car and I'm devastated to lose her. Worst of all, I had already spent my savings on her down payment in September, and so I don't have the funds to buy a new car without going into massive debt. I'm terrified to be broke again.

I'm asking for $10,000 to cover the new car as well as my deductible, fees, remaining balance on my original loan, and taxes. Anything extra will go towards paying off my credit card, which still has my original tag fees and taxes on it. Should I be blessed enough to cover all of that, I'll donate any remaining funds to the ASPCA. The deer didn't know any better.

I appreciate any help that comes in. I'm doing my best to stay positive, but it's hard. I lost a friend on Monday, as silly as that might sound.
