San Francisco just had it's first official Tornado Warning and a Mini Tornado event went through my neighborhood in the Mission. Multiple trees were uprooted, and one came crashing down on our family car. Luckily, we and the rest of the neighborhood are safe.

I'm Carmen Marin, and I'm trying to raise money to help pay for a used car for me and my parents, with whom I live with and take care of.

As you can see, our car totally unrepairable, with a broken axle and smashed trunk/backend. We've had this car for nearly two decades, had recently paid for new tires and to fix the bumper from a previous incident. I've been without a job for nearly two years and my parents are retired, though dad went back to work part time. Even with insurance, we can't afford to get a good used car at the moment. This would help with a down payment and then ease our monthly payments for a new used car. Any amount would be lovely.

Gracias.
