Help Place Rebekah Safely Back on the Road
Donation protected
On July 7, 2023, my daughter Rebekah Baran had her first and only car totaled. She turned 29 1/2 that day and was sitting at a red traffic light when she was hit by a driver who hadn't seen the red light. That driver took her independence that day. Please help us give it back to her.
You see, Rebekah suffers from a number of health issues and quickly accumulates doctor bills. Anyone who knows our family knows we are still rebuilding after our lives fell apart in 2010. So for many reasons, it took years to get Rebekah on the road driving; it took even longer for her to afford a car of her own. She found it in October 2021: a 1999 Saturn with 29,000 miles. She paid $4,000 for it.
The car was in immaculate condition. The only maintenance it's needed is one battery and regular oil changes. For the first time in her life, Rebekah wasn't depending on paid ride services or family members to take her where she needed to go. The world opened up for her.
As you can imagine, she did not receive much compensation for the Saturn, even though it only had 33, 100 miles on it. However, she doesn't have the extra funds to buy another car or make car payments. She's depressed about the setback since she will turn 30 in six months and is still struggling to jumpstart her life.
In the meantime, we're moving her forward. She is looking at used cars, and we are brainstorming funds. This is part of the brainstorm. Rebekah is a loving person who thinks of others. Please think of her today and help if you can. Any money raised will be spent on a car for Rebekah.
Thank you!
