Support Noah & Maddy After Car Crash

Story

Hi everyone, This is Noah and Maddy and we writing this with a heavy heart and immense gratitude that we are both still here. This past Thursday, Maddy and I were driving back to my apartment in Santa Barbara after a nice date. We were heading north on the U.S. 101, cruising at about 60 MPH, just talking and enjoying the ride. Out of nowhere, a car going slammed into the back of our vehicle. The force of the crash ripped the wheel from my hands and sent us spinning across the freeway. Maddy and I were both taken to the hospital. Maddy sustained minor bruising and aches, while I sustained neck and back injuries, but we are alive. While we were there, an officer came into our room to inform us that the man who hit us was driving under the influence. It’s still hard to process. Maddy’s car was completely totaled. It was a car she had worked so hard to buy. We're asking for help from our community—our friends, family, and kind strangers. Any money donated will go directly toward paying off any out of pocket costs not covered by insurance. Thank you for taking the time to read this and for supporting us during this difficult time. With love and gratitude, Noah & Maddy

Hi everyone,

This is Noah and Maddy and we writing this with a heavy heart and immense gratitude that we are both still here.

This past Thursday, Maddy and I were driving back to my apartment in Santa Barbara after a nice date. We were heading north on the U.S. 101, cruising at about 60 MPH, just talking and enjoying the ride.

Out of nowhere, a car going slammed into the back of our vehicle. The force of the crash ripped the wheel from my hands and sent us spinning across the freeway.

Maddy and I were both taken to the hospital. Maddy sustained minor bruising and aches, while I sustained neck and back injuries, but we are alive. While we were there, an officer came into our room to inform us that the man who hit us was driving under the influence. It’s still hard to process.

Maddy’s car was completely totaled. It was a car she had worked so hard to buy.
