Leah Velocity hasn't added a story.
Sometimes everything breaks at once. This is one of those times, but
we are trying to recover and salvage what is possible from this crash
and work through this period of transition.
A tire blew out when I (Leah) was driving the van on the
highway, there was no shoulder and when I tried to break I lost
control and the van spun around into the other lane and then flipped
over into the center ditch. I spent what seemed like hours looking for
our cats in the wreckage of the van. I have vivid flashbacks of the
crash, EMTs screaming at me, random folks telling me my cats are
probably dead (they are fine, by the way) and the intense feelings
surrounding all of that on an hourly basis now. I escaped with
injuries barely worth mentioning, but my dang trauma saturated brain
isn't letting this go easy.
The van was totaled, but just barely, luckily insurance ran it
as an RV so we got a decent payout from our policy.
Funds will be split evenly between David and Leah/Leo so we can
both obtain or build out our own separate homes on wheels, and spend
some time healing and recovering from what has been a month marked
with loss and confusion.
David and I have decided to end our relationship, and coming
to that conclusion has been really tough for both of us. I have not
been dealing with it well. I would like to formally apologize for
slandering their name in a trauma-based breakdown because I
understand now that they have always intended to share the
fundraiser money with me. We still care deeply for one another and
would still like to cooperate through this transition.
I have raised the goal to $8k, this amount would put both of
us on much more solid financial footings to start our independent
lives and secure super solid housing/vehicles.
Thanks to all who have donated! Thanks for your support,
patience and compassion.
