Hey South Bay,
This is my friend Clay. I was driving Anthony to hockey and i noticed a car broke down on Sepulveda with nobody helping. So Anthony and i pulled over, we stopped traffic and pushed Clays car to safety.
I could tell he was upset. His phone rang and it was his fiance who i could tell was asking "what are we going to do now?"
A police officer pulled up and he got nervous but when the officer was nice he quickly relaxed. The officer said "we need to tow your car , where woukd you like it towed to?"
I could tell Clay didnt have the money so i automatically said
"Officer, i will pay for the car to get towed to my mechanic, i then told Clay that i will pay for the tow and all the expenses to get your car fixed and running again "
You know what Clay did ?
He instantly broke down crying telling me that
" nobody has ever done anything like this for him in his entire life"
I got a little teary eyed and so did the officer.
Clay went on to explain that him and his girlfriend moved out here just 2 months ago because she got a job as a beautician and that with covid its been tough and Clay has applied for 14 jobs with no luck.
They drove from St Louis to escape the gang life. Clay has been shot 7 times and knew that moving was the only way to get married have a child and start a new life.
His car breaking down was going to be the end of their dreams and probably the end of his relationship.
I promised him that that South Bay would have his back and that people will step up to welcome you with open arms and will chip in to insure that him and his fiance will be able to live out their dreams.
All my interactions with Clay have been "yes sir" "no sir" "thank you" etc etc. He is the of the politest kids ive ever met.
Please contribute to help get his car fixed, maybe painted and we can raise enough money to get their rent paid for for the next few months.
Lets give these kids a break.
Im asking everyone i know to pitch in what you can. Lets shatter this $3500 mark ive set. Make me proud South Bay.
