Help Me Replace My Car After It Was Vandalized
Fundraising goal: $5,000
Hello everyone,
On August 26, my car was severely vandalized while parked in Honolulu. The vandals smashed a rear window, damaged a tire, extensively keyed the body, damaged both the front and rear of the vehicle, and destroyed the ignition system by ripping out the ignition cylinder and leaving the wires exposed. The car is now completely inoperable, and we still do not know whether it can be repaired or will be declared a total loss.
I filed a police report and opened a claim with my insurance company. The damage is still being evaluated, so I do not yet know how much the insurance will cover or how long the process will take.
My vehicle is a 2010 Kia Soul. It is an older, modest car—not a luxury vehicle—but it served an essential purpose by allowing me to travel between my different work locations each day.
I work for a commercial cleaning company and am assigned to several business locations. I depend on my car to get to my shifts on time. Without reliable transportation, my ability to work and earn an income is at risk.
I am creating this fundraiser with a goal of $5,000 to help me purchase another affordable used vehicle. The funds will also help cover temporary transportation or a rental car while the insurance company makes its decision, as well as replacement-related expenses such as registration and title transfer fees.
Any money I receive from the insurance company will be used toward these same transportation needs. I will update this fundraiser once I receive the final insurance assessment so that everyone knows the outcome and how the donations will be used.
Any contribution, no matter the amount, will bring me closer to regaining the transportation I need to continue working. If you are unable to donate, sharing this fundraiser would also be an enormous help.
Thank you so much for your support, prayers, and shares.
