An effort to raise enough money to purchase a new (old) car for Chris 🚘
Nationwide
My name is Chris, and I was recently involved in a significant car crash, which led to my car being destroyed as a result 🙁
Although I had been driving very carefully in some nasty weather, the driver of another car decided to treat a red traffic light as more of a suggestion, rather than as an instruction. They came right out of nowhere and hit me, destroying the rear end of my car.
Fortunately, no one was physically harmed.
For anybody who does not know me or my story, I live a nomadic lifestyle, in which I travel around from place to place, never staying in one place for more than a couple of months, working odd jobs, making just enough money to keep me alive, and to continue travelling around and meeting new people and engaging in new experiences.
As well as being my form of transportation, my car serves as the home to all of my possessions. My car *is* ultimately my home.
I had a little bit of money kept aside for emergency car repairs, but in no way do I have the kind of money I now need for purchasing an entirely new (old) car.
Well, I am typically such a careful driver, and because I always take care to keep my car where I (or many) can see it, I felt that paying for an insurance policy was needless. In hindsight, that was foolish 🤦♂️
A couple of friends suggested for me to give this fundraising a go, so I figure I have nothing to lose 🙂
Please and thank you in advance for anything you are willing and able to contribute to this effort to replace my home ❤️

Alice is her name :) 10 June 2022
Everybody, meet Alice! 😊
Alice was named not by me, but by her original owner Vanessa, who introduced me to Alice earlier today ☺️
My parents were very kind in fronting enough money so that I could afford the $2500 that it cost me to secure Alice’s place in my life story, and her place in the adventures that she and I will be embarking upon going forward. But from today, I will need to begin paying my parents back every dollar they have given to me, as my parents are not immensely wealthy people, and so I am extremely fortunate to have had their help at all! 😬😅🙌👏
That effort to pay my parents back their hard earned money is where every dollar donated to this account will be going to from now on!
Thank you so much to everybody who have been so wonderful and helpful to me in this time of crisis and need. I have felt very very supported and cared for, and I look forward to paying all of that support and care forward to others in future! 🌱❤️
