I was so close

Hi my name is Kate,

Last year a young driver was not paying attention and ran me off my motorcycle leaving me with continuing injuries to my leg that have only recently stopped causing me pain. I came very close to meeting my end but was luckily spared.

Due to the career I had built as a traveling receptionist, I required transport and needed a motorbike. As the driver contested it began what has now been an 8 month battle with insurances.

In this time I found myself unable to make rent and fell behind. I worked hard to pay extra each month to clear my arrears but fell short by the above amount.

I've been given a week to make this final payment or to move out. I had nearly £1200 in arrears and cleared almost all of it through hard graft. I lost my bike in this accident as it was written off and now I'm facing losing my home.

The crash wasn't my fault, he indicated left, pulled into the left lane and at a left hand turn, as I continued forward he pulled a sudden u-turn with no warning or indication. This crash has already cost me so much and I'm desperately hoping it doesn't now cost me my home.

As Pap Roach said, This is my last resort. I don't want to lose my place on top of everything else.

The money will be used to pay the last of my rent arrears allowing me to remain in my home. The original goal gave me a week to try and find other options, I have increased it to increase my breathing space, thank you to anyone who helps, I love Yorkshire and want to stay, the idea of going back south terrifies me

Thanks in advance.
