Car repair fees after hit and run

Donation protected
Dear friends - I humbly request support, while being aware that there's so many folks/causes seeking assistance from various directions.

Recently, my car was damaged in a hit-and-run accident while it was borrowed by a community member and friend. Unfortunately, this friend is presently in between housing and unable to cover the repair costs. The repair will take place out of pocket.

I'd love to send you a print that I created as a small token of gratitude for those who can offer assistance. I'll get in touch with you to get your mailing address.

My dear friend Mei kindly drafted the following for me:

Help Save Uncle T's Car!
Last month T's car was damaged in a hit and run while being borrowed by a friend. Luckily no one was hurt, but due to complications with insurance, we are trying to raise 1800 to cover the costs of repairs out of pocket.
If you know T you know that she is constantly extending tangible and needed support to those of us who are most often left without community support- lumpen elders, immigrant aunties and uncles.
T's car is not just her car it has been a huge community resource to help many access food, community events, appointments, and more. I can't count the number of times T has offered me rides. Several times when i've been experiencing mobility issues recently T has driven miles and miles out of her way to help me access food and social events that disability otherwise leaves me unable to participate in. I know she does the same for countless other people especially the people who need it most. We joke about her car being the 'freeTaxi', offering free rides to and from the community space several times a week. T also travels from LA to the Bay several times a month for work and needs a safe and functional car in order to keep her employment and her home. Please share and donate if you can to help keep our friend mobile ❤️‍
