Chapter 4 - THE $38,000
Claire’s auto-insurance settlement included a separate accessibility allocation.
Total approved:
$52,000.
Purpose:
entry ramp,
widened interior doorway,
accessible shower,
grab bars,
lowered bathroom fixtures,
temporary bedroom modifications.
The insurer paid the first installment:
$38,000.
It landed in a household account Daniel managed while Claire was in rehabilitation.
Claire thought the money was waiting for construction.
Then Rebecca requested the bank records.
The account balance:
$1,842.
Claire stared at the statement.
“Where is it?”
One transfer:
$38,000
to Carter Residential Mobility LLC.
Claire looked at Rebecca.
“I’ve never heard of that company.”
Rebecca had.
It was created nine weeks earlier.
Owner:
May you like
Aaron Cole.
Daniel’s best friend.
