Support Philip and His Mother After Devastating Crash

Hello, my name is Philip Neris. I am reaching out to you in the hopes that you can help my mother and I after having experienced a major car accident.

On Sunday, 3/23/3025, we were both on our way home after grocery shopping when we were involved in a major 3-car accident. It occurred on Haddonfield Road near Church St in Cherry Hill, NJ.

A woman in a Black Rogue cut off a woman in a Silver Hyundai who had the right of way. We immediately saw the accident which occurred 3 lanes away from us and within seconds, the woman in the Silver Hyundai had somehow turned left (as she lost control) and ended up T-boning our SUV as we did not have enough time escape the impact.

The impact crushed my mother’s side of the car causing the air bags to be deployed. The windshield cracked and we saw smoke coming from somewhere in front of the car. My mother was unable to get out of the car, but she never panicked. Although injured, she managed to crawl out of the car through the passenger door on her back. Luckily, the woman who caused the accident and the woman who hit us (with 2 children in the car) were all okay. My mother suffered the most injury of everyone involved. I just suffered from a bruised elbow.

My mother had just retired 3 weeks ago, and she was perfectly healthy. Now she has to wear a leg brace and use crutches. We are both still traumatized by the accident.

The Police and Firemen showed up along with 2 ambulances. When the Police approached my mother, they told her that her car would probably be a total loss. Since then, the insurance company has confirmed that. So, now, we don’t have a vehicle, and we don’t have money to buy one.

Our SUV was going to be paid off in about a year and my mother was looking forward to paying it off to keep it because she knew she would never be able to afford another car. However, because it is a 7-year-old car that got refinanced so that we could afford a mortgage, she was upside down. It is very likely that once the finance company gets paid off, there will be nothing left for us.

The loss of our vehicle has affected our lives significantly, as it is the only vehicle which we have for transportation. We are now relying on a rental provided to us by Enterprise through our insurance, but

they can only cover us for 14 days, so we don’t know what we are going to do after that. The accident has affected us mentally, physically and most of all, financially.

With my mother now retired and with my job at risk due to my company closing all its stores, I've decided to start a campaign to help raise funds for her to get a reliable car. The money raised will go toward a down payment so that we can get our lives back to normal.

If you could spare any kindness from your heart, any contribution to this campaign, no matter the amount, would be greatly appreciated and make a difference.

Thank you for your time and donation.
