Donate to support Rudy and Isaiah
Donation protected
I am Gary Crisp the CEO/President of C2 Imaging. I live in Corona Del Mar. Both Rudy and Isaiah have washed my cars for years. The funds we earn here will be spent to help get Rudy and Isaiah out of living in a motel and in their own apartment or house if we raise enough, the house which was stolen from them. Isaiah is 21 years old and he plans to go back and get his GED or high school education, which these funds will help with considering he had to drop out of school to help Rudy when he lost his house.
Rudy's struggle began when his father died in February of 2013. Rudy's father left the house they lived in to Rudy and his sister Lulu. They struggled to keep up with the mortgage and they lost the house. The mortgage company was not working with Rudy and his sister and they had to move out abruptly. The mortgage company sold the house to another buyer and they have been living in a motel that is about to be closed down due to poor living conditions.
Rudy hired an attorney to fight to get their house back and this attorney took advantage of them. He told them that his father owned 5 houses in LA and Orange County. He had Rudy and his sister sign papers to get the properties put in their name. This lawyer took advantage of Rudy and his sister and later they were arrested because the police thought they were involved with this questionable lawyer who was charged for selling houses he didn't own. The police quickly learned that Rudy and his sister were victims, but the embarrassment of being thrown in jail weighed heavily on Rudy and his sister.
Because of the stress of losing his father, losing their house, living in a run down motel, and being taken advantage of by their lawyer, Rudy's health has suffered. He has a heart condition called Atrial Fibrillation which makes him feel dizzy, and his heart races, he loses water, and collapses. He also had a stroke which causes him to lose his balance, and he lost his eyesight in his right eye. He is unable to work like he used to, so his nephew, Isaiah dropped out of high school to help him with the car wash business and to help his mother with bills.
Rudy and his nephew Isaiah will use the money raised to get out of the motel and into a more permanent living environment and to support Isaiah to get back into high school to graduate.
