Help Ease the Burden of a Car Accident

Hello...I don't think I've ever asked for financial help on this scale before and I'm trying really hard to not feel shame, so bear with me.

On April 20th 2024 I was in my very first car accident. The amount of times I've recalled the events are exhausting but the bottom line is: the other driver was found 100% liable, my car is a total loss, and I am OK (still seeing some doctors about some things but I didn't need to go to the ER, so...silver linings).

I am getting a "fair" price for the car from my insurance, but due to financial hardships that have existed BEFORE this horrible thing happened, I will struggle immensely to make monthly payments even on a used car, even with putting the full check they're giving me as a down-payment.

If I can receive any additional help through this fundraising it will put me in a position to continue paying my other essential bills on time and possibly also go towards the monthly payments or the down-payment to lower monthly payments.

I have a habit of not asking for help even when I know people would help me, so this is a REALLY tough one...I can't express how much I would appreciate ANY amount of help that can be spared. Life is hard on us all, so really I appreciate anything.
