Replacing Josh's Vehicle After an Accident
Hello! My name is Joshua Duray, a resident of Colorado Springs in Colorado. On Sunday, August 18, 2019 I was in a car accident that wrecked my car enough to have it declared as a total loss by my auto insurance company, USAA. You can see the extent of the damages in these three simple photographs:
I will, of course, be completely honest about the accident: occurring at approximately 10:35 AM in the intersection of 23rd and Uintah, it was my fault. I went to grab a pen I had dropped between my legs, and in the split second I had my eyes off the road, closed the gap between myself and another vehicle too tightly to brake or swerve on time. Luckily, no one was injured by the experience, and the physical vehicular damage was far worse to my car than to theirs. The police were indeed called, with whom I was completely honest with and served a ticket for my actions. I want to be completely open and transparent about the accident: no excuses, no falsities.
Thankfully, the reimbursement for the total loss of my vehicle is incredibly good for my old car (a 2001 Jeep Cherokee Sport). In fact, it is so good that I will use this sentence to recommend USAA to anyone in the United States looking to obtain or switch to for auto insurance. However, it is unfortunately not enough to completely cover the costs of purchasing a "new" used vehicle. I have actually never used a credit card my entire life, thus my credit score is too low for any major dealerships to accept for financing or any banks to accept for loaning, and I cannot be naive or desperate enough to turn to the legal loan sharks that are quick cash/quick loan businesses. And quite frankly, I am too poor to try to buy or begin a payment plan for a new, factory-default vehicle, either.
If you are willing and able to help me, the funds raised here will, in combination with the total loss reimbursement, go to the following:
+ Completely purchasing a new used vehicle
+ Paying for any necessary testing and fees, like emissions and dealer documentary.
+ Cushion backup money for any sudden/necessary repairs and diagnostics the vehicle may need.
I want to be in a replacement vehicle by the end of September 2019. In addition to donating to this GoFundMe page, there are two other major ways you can help me:
1) You can also donate, with your debit/credit card or Paypal, at the following link: https://www.streamlabs.com/cuteboldproductions/
2) Signal boosting and sharing this GoFundMe page reasonably across the internet.
Thank you for taking time out of your day to review this page. Regardless of what you do, I hope you have a wonderful day and a fruitful life!
