Miranda Alexander hasn't added a story.
My name is Miranda Alexander. I'm a 21-year-old, broke, college student and activist living in St. Louis. I have been independent since I moved out at 17. I work two jobs, but I am still struggling financially. I'm the type of person who always gives, and never asks for anything in return. While I was moving into a slightly cheaper apartment--I was driving my cat, Ninja, the 15 minutes to my new place. Unfortunately, it was an extremely hot day--and my car is currently without A/C. My cat was in the passenger seat crying out because of overheating. I was terrified of losing her, so I wanted to get her to safety as fast as possible. While driving that day, I not only received a speeding ticket--I also rear ended another car on the highway because Ninja distracted me. I am typically a responsible person and driver, but car insurance is expensive; so I have to pay for this all out of pocket. I will work as much as I possibly can to cover the costs, but the school year is about to start back up and I have class every day. So, for the first time in my life, I am desperately asking for help. I do not know how I am going to afford this accident without your support. All funds raised will go to paying for both cars to be repaired. Any remaining funds will go back to the activist community in St. Louis, and will be donated to a non-profit.
