Help Amber Rose replace her stolen car
Donation protected
Hi, my name is Amber Rose,
I'm reaching out to my beloved community for support. As many of you know, my car was stolen out of my driveway in front of my house on the morning of march 23rd. A few days later the thief got into a car chase with the police in my car, sped through a stop sign, hit a truck then rolled the car off the road into a fence and totalled my car. He got out on foot running from the cops, stole another car idling in a mechanics shop and drove off, the car broke down and he got away on foot.
It shook me deeply to have my car (and many personal possessions that were in it) stolen and destroyed. It was even more upsetting that my insurance will not help in any way whatsoever in this situation because I had basic coverage. The cops failed to help in my situation, and yet have continued to request my time and energy in their investigation of the other car the thief stole from the mechanic shop.
If that wasn’t stressful and overwhelming enough, I was only 10 days away from moving to a new house and in the midst of packing. March is already an emotionally tough month for me, as it marks the death anniversaries of 3 loved ones I’ve lost over the last few years.
So, all of this left me reeling this spring. But after two months, some of the dust has settled, I’ve moved in to my new place, and I’ve found another car, a used 2013 Toyota RAV4, thanks to the help of my friends and my partner loaning me their cars and giving me rides to
dealerships. Grateful as I am to have found reliable transportation, I had paid off my old car 16 years ago and purchasing a used car in this currently inflated market has forced me to take on car payments above and beyond my budget and far above what the car is worth.
I work full time to cover all of my own finances without support. I’m grateful for family who offered what they could in light of the situation, which helped with the down payment, but unfortunately I am still trying to figure out how to cover my new monthly payments.
It's been difficult to be vulnerable and ask for help in this way and write this story in the midst of dealing with the car shopping, moving and job changes I've endured these last couple months. I love to give my gifts of sound therapy, body work, food fiestas and more to the community and so now I am turning to the community for support in this difficult moment. Any help to offset the cost of my new wheels is so much appreciated.
