Isabellas Car Crash Update
🕑 Added 2025-03-28 17:27:41 +0000 UTCAs I'm sure you've heard by now, my daughter, Isabella Brown (daughter of Robert and Kristina from Abney Park), was in a serious car accident. She was rear-ended on the freeway at 60 miles per hour. It spun her car around three times, causing it to slam into the median barrier multiple times.
This has left her and her passengers with very serious concussions. They are locked up at home in dark rooms, wearing sunglasses, and have been now for weeks. Not able to be online, watch TV, read, attend college, or anything else.
So far:
• She’s lost her car.
• She’s had to quit college (she was an engineering major).
• She can’t play music (she plays bass and piano).
• She can’t look at any screen (TV, computer, phone).
She’s lost whatever money we’ve spent on this college this year.
She has had to give up aerials (she was competing in Vegas this year). One fall now could give her permanent brain damage.
Basically, everything that defined her she has lost. And it’s still uncertain when, or even if, she can go back to any or all of those things.
We had hoped the concussion would be a mild one. It has not been. She and her passengers have all been pulled out of college, as looking at screens—and even just hard thinking—are causing severe migraines.
She was hit by an uninsured motorist going at least 100 miles an hour. The hit-and-run driver is poor, so no lawyers will take the case (I called at least 6 lawyers). Our insurance, though expensive at over $500 a month, has told us we are not covered for this particular set of circumstances. That’s how they get you.
Bills are starting to add up, and drain whatever savings we had. Bills for doctors, ER visits, therapists, neurologists, and psychologists are all draining us to nearly nothing. Being a family of musicians and artists, we were never sitting on huge savings. We get by, but this is crushing.
We pay for our life, and for our family, with ticket sales to our streaming concerts. We’ve got another show coming up in a couple weeks. Please consider getting tickets—we could really use it.
If you've been considering becoming a paid supporter of Abney Park's Patreon, now would be a really great time.

I joined just last week. I was a fan for many years, but was living in a situation where I couldn't even have access to your music (prison). Remembering your music helped me get through my time. Now I'm even more glad I got out. Now I am able to give to the ones who helped me. May the kami bless and guide you.

Tough to hear. Your family will be in my prayers.

This is so scary and so sad. I plan to raise my tier in meantime. Your songs supported me in difficult moments of my life, and now I'm willing to support you as much as I can.
