Yikes! Next time, open hood, take photo and text it to your insurance company.

Above driver's side wheel well area near the firewall is the black painted
power brake unit.
Attached front center is the metal brake master cylinder that has a plastic
brake fluid reservoir atop of it.
Follow the metal tubes from master cylinder to nearby (inches!) metal box with
some electric cables and more metal tubes attached.
That box is the ABS unit. No box, no ABS.
