Hello friends,

As many of you know, I was involved in a car accident on March 27th that totaled my pickup truck and left me with a broken clavicle, concussion, sprained ankle, and, well, just beat me up pretty good. It is by some miracle and the heavy lifting of my guardian angel that I am still alive. My purpose in this life must not be done.

That said, I just spoke to my insurance adjuster, and they will pay for my truck and any damage I did to the two-trailer semi I rear-ended at 65 miles an hour. However, they will not cover my medical or the work I am missing for the next six weeks. I know times are tough for everyone right now—to be sure. I do hate asking for help; it is humbling, and I'm already humbled by my friends bringing food for the girls and me, dropping off some groceries, and giving me rides to the doctor. I'm afraid I am in for it financially with medical bills and not being able to work for at least 6 weeks. So, if you have a few extra bucks you could spare, I would put it to good use keeping the girls and me afloat.
