Hello! I go by Siv and I'm in a bit of a bind of my own making.

On March 6th this year (2025), 3 minutes before my birthday on the 7th, I got into an accident taking a friend home and not only got a ticket, but damaged my mother's car.

This is entirely my fault and I need to make it right.

The starting goal is to make sure the ticket I've earned can get paid for if it doesn't get dismissed or if they'll permit me to take driving courses in exchange. My court date is April 7th.

I will be finding work ASAP to pour in as much of my share as possible to try to match whatever is raised, if anything.

I don't know the exact number yet, so $500 is a start. I will be documenting the costs of everything as soon as I find them out.

After that is settled, the funds will be used to form a nest egg so I can move out of my mother's house and hopefully take my cats with me. I've realized that I don't feel safe there unless I walk on eggshells around my parents, and sometimes even my own siblings.

I want to live in a place where I don't get snide remarks for mistakes, or even feel unsafe answering my phone for fear I get spoken to abrasively. It's caused me to start to mentally relapse to a point of intense stress, food aversion, and feeling undeserving of basic respect.

If you can help at all, I'm very grateful.

Thank you.

-Siv.
