Help Erin and Nick replace the camper after bad car accident
Donation protected
Hey everyone! Our names are Nick and Erin we are young professional artists and small business owners for over ten years. We spent over a year preparing to go on the road full time with Nick's company Mythical Merch. We got a vehicle and a camper that we fixed up and loaded our lives into it back in December to go on the road.
Everything was going really well until March 26 in the middle of the afternoon. We were traveling from Florida to Arizona for an event. But in Louisiana we were merging lanes on the highway and our camper fishtailed behind us to the point we couldn't correct it. We lost all traction and we started sliding and eventually rolled three times and landed in the median!
Everything we worked so hard for was in a pile of rubble on the side of the road but we were miraculously alive only bad cuts bruises and I got a pretty bad burn from the airbag but no broken bones and no one else was involved. The crash definitely should have killed us but it didn't. So we jumped into action to try and save all things we could from the wreckage. We managed to limp our stuff back to Florida in a u haul, where we are fortunate enough to temporarily stay with family.
We went through all of our remaining things to take stock of what survived. We did all the insurance stuff we needed to and rested and healed as long as we could.
In the end the car was covered but our camper (our home) was only covered up to $500. All the tows the wreckage removal a uhaul to save our stuff from the dump was also not covered and adds up over $5600. We were told our insurance would fully cover all our stuff by the agent but it didn't. It was only liability even though we negotiated a full coverage policy for our vehicle and inquired whether it would extended to the camper, they told us it did.
We really need some help from all the communities we are part of and helped grow over the years to lend us a helping hand. You all know we are never people who ask for help or handouts, but we are in a tough spot and we have no way to get this much stuff all the way home without our camper. So please do what you can even if it's only a little bit.
Thank you all for your support along the way people buying things from our website shop, supported us at events and our family's and friends who have been looking out for us thus far. We love you all and will be forever grateful for everything you are doing for us! We are strong and will recover eventually and continue to bring our art to the world!
