Help for a new car after a car crash

Christchurch, Canterbury

Hi everyone... On Tuesday 10th June while taking my 2 kids to school, I had a car crash. It was very distressing but luckily none of us was hurt. The car however, which was purchased only 2yrs ago, got completely smashed in in the back.

Although it was stressful I felt relieved to know that I had full insurance that I had been paying fortnightly since I brought the car. Upon calling my insurance company to make a claim, I was completely horrified and in disbelief to hear them tell me that my policy had been canceled in January 2025. They said they had sent me letters in the mail stating they were going to cancel it if I didn't renew at a greater amount. I never got these letters as i had moved house. I also never received a text they said they had sent. I had also been paying the fortnightly payments without any knowledge of this cancellation. Unfortunately with big corporations like this i am way out of my league. I can't do anything about it. I've tried.

Cut a long story short - my car is a right off. I am not covered for the car. I have 2 children in my care and now I have no car.

I am asking for you, if you can in any way, to please donate anything you can to help me be able to purchase a new car. This would not have to be done if my insurance company (in my eyes) hadn't screwed me over.

Thank you for anything you can give.

Love you too all. ❤️
