Help Me Repair My Vehicle
Spende geschützt
Full disclaimer: I didn't want to make a go fund me out of fear of ridicule and judgment.
Fortunately(or unfortunately, that remains to be seen) someone very close to me encouraged me to reach out for help. So here I am! Long story short, I ended up rear-ending someone on the highway E-bound QEW just past Ford Dr, in Oakville Ontario.
The past couple of months have not been easy for me in many ways. I had a bad fall injury to my back and neck at Niagara college where I was a student, again a year later at work a couple of months ago, and then found out that my mom has been diagnosed with stage 4, Tripple-negative breast cancer. My mother helped and support me to get this vehicle on the road and in one unfortunate moment, it's been wrecked, and my injuries furthered. Thankfully, my injuries are being looked after by the insurance, my vehicle however is not. Regardless of who I believe is at fault or debating whether I could have done more to prevent it is irrelevant at this point in time. The insurance company is not willing to change the judgment on the accident and I am left having to cover the damages myself.
I went to school online to become certified as a mechanic, to which I successfully completed recently. So in the interest of cost efficiency, I'll be taking on the repairs myself. Anyone that knows me, knows that I do a lot for others and I do it willingly, this is my time to ask for some help, so I may continue to help others.
This vehicle will, hopefully, be used by me to do volunteer firefighting as we come to the next hiring cycle.
I'm also hoping to volunteer with search and rescue Niagara in the next couple of months.
I'm asking for the lowest amount that would get me on my way and will update as I assess the damages. As part of this Gofundme, I'll be providing Step-By-Step updates as I fix major parts or reach major checkpoints. Such as: Removal of the; bumper cover, light housings, hood, any badly damaged and removable frame sections or panels, and Radiator and supporting hardware. Once the above is removed I will assess the frame for warping and alignment. Upon finishing and safety certifying the vehicle, I will divide the surplus into two different establishments that are close to me in a profound way! 1) St. Catharines - Out Of The Cold 2)The Guelph Outdoor School
