Help My Son & I get a Car!
Donation protected
Hi everyone ! I want to start off by saying Im so lucky to be able to write this message today and be in my own bed, I’m very blessed to walk away from my car accident on 9/17/24. I will go into detail more but I want to say I’m very grateful for my small village who helps me out on a daily basis with my son or with anything I ever need. (but this time around I don’t have it in me to ask for more help(financially) so this fundraiser is to try & see if there will be light at the end of this tunnel that I have entered . I have seen go fund me help real people in my life during their hardships so it’s truly a way to admit I need help with this stump in my life right now. Because unfortunately I do not have anything saved. I know big eye opener when there’s no rainy day fund and I have been working on my credit but it’s not good enough to get me a real credit card with this kind of limit. Apart from that I don’t want to drown myself in future debt so applying for loans and credit cards is not an option at this time.
I’ve seen miracles happen so I’m praying this reaches the right people. The funds would benefit purchasing a used car under $10k, some of the funds would be for bills that would come from the accident such as towing fees,storing my car at the tow yard fees, any insurance fees, missed workdays, ubering to and from work, or paying others to help me get my son to & from school and also help me pay for damaging the interlock device that I need to have in my car in order to be in compliance with the MVD. Since I need to have an interlock device in my car for a whole year (only a few months in) I would need to pay for it to get removed out of my current Honda that was in the accident and then reinstalled to a different car, thats what I’m raising this money for. And I know what you’re thinking why would you help someone with an interlock? Well I made a lot of mistakes in my early twenties that I’ve put off for many years but recently making amends for it now that I am almost 28 I have finally got my license back and I’m proud to say getting that will power to get the interlock in my car has not only helped me stay sober which is a huge huge win for me. It’s also helped me have a clear mindset so going through so many mind shifting moments which is why I have the strength I think to be doing this and reaching out for help.
I have no pride. I have nothing else to feel shame for. I’m grateful my car accident did only affect me, I did not hit or get hit on the freeway I just genuinely was driving during the rush hour when a sudden stop frightened me and I hit my brakes and lost control of the car so I spun and hit the wall. So airbags and my seat belt literally saved my life. I did hurt my chest, shoulder, toes and wrist / hand. Nothing that won’t heal within a week but one thing I won’t heal from right away is this financial burden :(
I’m so tired of being sick and tired, I do work two jobs already to stay on top of things with my interlock & life in general but I’m stressed as much as the next person in this economy & the thought of applying for personal loans gives me so much anxiety !! So with teary eyes I’m asking for anyone to help me out with advice, prayers, or any way to get on track with what I have shared with you guys. This is very out of character for me but I’m desperate to get my normal schedule back and show my son mom can do it on her own and asking for help is totally ok!! Thank you for reading.
