Help Sierra Get Back on the Road
Donation protected
Hello! My name is Sierra and I was in an accident on Saturday, 1/30. I was heading home from a friend’s in IL and about 30 minutes into my drive, I hit a patch of black ice. I lost control of my car, spun into the median and bounced off into the middle of the highway. I was facing oncoming traffic, which thankfully had stopped. My car was still in drive but the engine was no longer running so I was unable to move. I started to panic but immediately called 911. Luckily, a plow truck helped me turn back around and pushed me to the shoulder. But in doing so, he broke my back window. I was stranded on the side of the highway until my mom was able to get me about 40 minutes later. I had no heat and wind was blowing in from the back window.
Amazingly, I walked away with only one bruised knee and no one else was involved in the accident. But since I only have liability, insurance won’t cover the costs and would only raise my monthly dues. I was able to get my car towed back to my house but it was costly because it was across state lines. I really need my car as both of my jobs (residential cleaner and delivery driver) rely on my ability to drive. Please help me get my car repaired so I can work!
