   Temple Veil Car Accident - PLEASE HELP!!On Wednesday, August 25th, 2010, Temple Veil (van pictured above left) was traveling westbound on US-30 near Mansfield, OH at 70mph when a mini-van (pictured above right) crossed the highway right in front of us. We instantly collided with the mini-van, sending it into a 180 right in the middle of the highway while we eventually came to a stop in the median. Miraculously both vehicles avoided all of the other vehicles on the highway with semi trucks passing in the shoulder. The incident resulted in the arrival of three state troopers, three ambulances, and two fire trucks. Everyone involved was shaken up and a little beat up, but after being checked over by the paramedics, we all walked away with nothing more than high pulse rates, bruises, and headaches. We definitely had angels watching over us. The driver of the mini-van was cited by the state police, and a great friend came and picked us up and took us to the home of family who live only an hour away from the scene. Another real blessing. Then as we began making phone calls, things grew from bad to worse. First, we discovered that the driver of the mini-van was not the owner of the vehicle. Then we discovered that he had given the police false contact information. His insurance company has not once called us and after calling them repeatedly for the past two days, they finally told us that the driver has never called them, and they have not been able to reach him, and until they are “proven liable”, they will not so much as even provide us with a rental vehicle. They said liability could take up to twenty-one days to determine, and they will absolutely not compensate us for the shows we have to miss. This leaves us stranded with no vehicle and missing shows, and no guarantee on how much we will even be given for the van to put towards a new vehicle. We will not allow this to stop us from our calling. We will not cancel anymore dates. Now it’s God’s turn to shine and provide for us as His Word promises. Being that we literally “live on the road”, we have been praying for an RV (such as the one pictured below) for quite some time now to be able to have a better mobilized office as well as somewhere to stay during any off days. Thank you all so much for all of the prayers and support, and we ask that you continue to earnestly pray with us during this whole process. We also desperately need your help. If you or you know of anyone who would possibly be willing to donate or very reasonably sell us a Class C Ford style RV that is in good enough condition to travel North America for several years, then please call or text 813.421.2137 or email templeveil@gmail.com.
