Help HONY Tractor Guy In Pakistan!!
Donation protected
This is a fundraiser for the gentleman highlighted on Humans of New York: Pakistan Edition. This kind gentleman needs a hand up from us. If you can donate a small amount, we can jointly positively impact this man's life.
The gentleman is in debt for $5000. I set the goal for $6000 as he indicates he only makes $120 a month. I am sure an extra $1000 would be greatly appreciated for his home/children, etc.
Numerous people have voiced concerned this is a scam. I am not a scammer. I am just a lady in Tennessee trying to do something life changing for someone else on the other side of the world simply because I can.
Thank you for caring, Internet. <3
“Last month I had an accident that destroyed my tractor, and now my life has been ruined. I’d saved for that tractor for three years. When I finally bought it, I was so happy. Things seemed to finally be moving forward. I was working crops and making money. Now it’s destroyed, but I still owe $5000. I only make $120 a month, and most of that goes toward renting this new tractor. I’m still very injured from the accident. I should be in bed but I could take any more days off. I didn’t used to look like this. I used to care about my appearance and wear proper clothes. I used to eat proper meals. But I can’t afford any of that now. I have nothing left to sacrifice.”

As per requested by GoFundMe:
1. Who you are: Just a teacher who saw someone in need and thought "Hey, I could help."
2. Where you're from "Clarksville, TN"
3. Your relationship to the parties you're raising funds for: Zero. None. Nada. I don't believe one needs to exist in order to help another person.
4. How the funds will be spent (be specific as possible): The funds will be spent to help Abdul (name has been identified) purchase a new tractor/repair his old one, and assist in any medical care he may require as a result of his accident.
5. How you intend to get the funds to those in need: Funds will be routed through Comprehensive Disaster Response Services. They are a 501c3 in the US and well respected NGO in Pakistan. https://www.facebook.com/CDRSPK
