Help Support Rebuild After A Lifechanging Accident

On March 23, I was involved in a four car pileup that totaled my most prize possession -my motorcycle. Miraculously, everyone walked away without injuries, and for that I am incredibly thankful.

But losing my bike has hit me hard and more than one way. This wasn’t just a motorcycle to me. It was purchased using funds from a trust that was set up after my father‘s passing when I was 12. It held deep, sentimental value representing a part of him.

Unfortunately, I only had liability insurance through Allstate, which means my motorcycle is not fully covered. The other parties insurance, State Farm, is nowhere near finalizing their investigation to provide any compensation for the loss. Meanwhile, I have been without my daily means of transportation, which has made every day life more difficult and stressful.

I am a part-time cast member at Disneyland and one of the many things I love to do is to make magic for guests by listening and going above and beyond the magic to make them feel heard, respected and cared for. When i am not at Disney I represent a support group called 'Broken Arrow' whose mission is to bring awareness and to stop the 22-a-day, which is the suicide rate among veterans and first responders. These are the values I have towards others who need not only myself but everyone.

But since this accident, I have been hit hard. Emotionally, mentally even physically. It's extremely difficult to stay positive every day and to make that magic knowing that I'm at a loss. A loss that I can't financially recover from. But I go on as I must to try and keep that positivity knowing that people are out there that are willing to help.

I have started this GoFundMe to raise enough money to purchase a replacement bike to get me back and forth to work and start feeling like myself again. And if, State Farm does come through with a payout for the loss, I plan to donate the same amount raised here to the Broken Arrow foundation- a cause close and dear to my heart that supports others going through tough times. Even harder times than my own.

The emotional mental toll of this situation has been heavy, but any support-whether it’s a donation or just a share means the world to me. From the bottom of my heart, I will always remember and cherish deeply, every donation that comes through. You will not be forgotten. You will be apart of me for the rest of my life.
