hey everyone my name is Savannah, and I'm a queer and trans, bipolar, youth of color living in the deep south! I deep love for drawing, singing, and makeup. I’m also an active member of my communities move towards social justice. I’ve been on the board of a national organization since age 17, spearheaded a campaign against a racist business in my community at age 18, and here we are at 19.
now this is where shit gets complicated. I was in a horrific car accident in three months ago that left me with little to no stability.
On my way to work, at one of the busiest intersections in Little Rock, Arkansas(w12th and University) a tire flew off of a Chevy truck and went straight into the front of my little Nissan Versa. Now it’s late April, and when I’m made aware that my car model has had a recall by the supplier (Takata) of the product since 2015 due to the airbags not deploying, or them deploying and metal shards being sprayed through the inside of the car. My airbags did not deploy in my car wreck, whether that be unfortunate or fortunate, and I hadn’t been made aware of any problems with the airbags when I signed the paperwork and was never contacted after the recall was issued.
I was left standing on a divider, in the middle of traffic for an hour and half waiting on LRPD to stop traffic long enough for me to cross the street onto the sidewalk. After being forced to call 911 the second time I was told I would have to call a tow truck to have my car moved out of the middle of traffic myself. I could have easily died in this car wreck, and it left me traumatized to the point where I shake every time I’m driving down the street where the accident occurred.
Yall, I’m not gonna lie it’s hard enough as it is living paycheck to paycheck at the center of all these intersections, but it’s even harder when you have a job and have to split a car with your disabled mother who also needs it to get to her doctor appointments 4 times a week to meet with the UAMS Transplant Team. It’s hard to rely on your phenomenal friends all the time and to see the stress it puts on those relationships. It’s getting harder and harder to dig myself out of this hole, so I’m reaching out for hands.
I’m asking for you guys to check out my gofundme if you’d like the full story and to please donate to cover repairs and possible lawyer fees.
