Pokemon Bro Wrecked my Car
Donation protected
Hi world. You've probably seen some news stories by now about a 28 year old man who crashed into a tree playing pokemon go. I'm his brother. He was driving my car.
I saved up my earnings from my first job in high school to buy that car. I spent a year fixing it and investing more money in it to make it roadworthy. Then my brother wrapped it around a tree in hot pursuit of a pokemon. I didn't even know he was driving my car that night until I heard about the crash. The scrap metal formerly known as car had no collision coverage. Incredibly, my brother is alive and well, and I do dearly hope he will learn some harsh lessons about road safety.
I work two jobs cooking and washing dishes at restaurants to pay my rent. I am 20 years old and I needed to sell that car to start building savings and have an emergency fund ready. Now, obviously, the car has to be written off. I won't bullshit you. I'm not gonna starve or anything, but this throws off all of my planning for the future on account of a stupid mistake someone else made.
If you help out, you're saving my ass. Life is insane and unpredictable and everyone is one chaotic moment away from needing some help. I can't promise anything except to be a responsible-ass adult and pay the kindness forward when I'm doing well for myself.
