Please help my Dad, he has always helped others.

On Monday night around 8pm my Dad's (Bevan Johnston) truck was parked outside his house, he was inside getting ready for bed after a huge day starting back at work. He heard a loud noise as a car collided with his truck. A witness told him a car came skidding along the road and wiped out his truck. Unfortunately, his trusty truck has now been written off, the chassis is bent. My Dad didn't have insurance because he didn't have a job for 18months despite trying very hard to find ANY job. Previous to this, he always had insurance. The person involved did a runner, has previously gone to jail for the same type of offending. This truck cost him 15K a few years ago and was his biggest asset.

My Dad has had an extremely hard time for the last few years. He didn't have much because a previous partner cleaned out everything he had. He was just getting back on his feet. He just got a new job and had only worked a few days before we were put into lockdown. He relies on his truck to get to work. He is currently borrowing someone elses car however that will only be available short term.

Speedway is an essential part of Dads life, we have all grown up around this. His vehicle is used for towing our cars to the track and all over the country. I know it is just a truck to some people but to my Dad it was much more. It was also somewhere he could make a bed in the back and camp in overnight if his trips were long. It was something he could also use to help other people with transport, breakdowns, shifting for example.

My Dad has helped so many other people and is always caring and looking out for others. He has never been one to ask for help so I have offered to do this for him. I can't help much myself as I am on maternity leave with a 5 month old baby. I am hoping there are some kind people to look out for him in this tough time.
