Devious Dasher Life Changing Van Upgrade
Donation protected
Hi, my name is Josh. I also have a small YouTube channel called “Devious Dasher” I am in Washington State doing gig work (Food and Grocery Delivery) and have been living in my 2008 Chevy Equinox. The main reason I am here is to really get to a higher quality of living for my situation. Living in the car doesn’t bother me as much as being in this car, which I had prior to having to live in the car. The “Beast” as we call it on my channel is getting pretty worn out and is gonna go out on me sooner then later. It has approximately 231,000 miles on it and lots of issues! A few of those are no A/C or heat, transmission service light comes on over 40 mph and gets stuck in 2nd gear multiple times a day which requires me to pull over and turn off car to reset it. The door locks don’t work, they are all manual. Windshield is beginning to crack, 2 or more of the motor mounts are broken, it rough idles, burns about 1 quart of oil a week and passenger window is out. These are some of the minor and major issues and there are more, needless to say it’s tired and ready to retire. I have attempted to save money for a replacement van to give me some room but just having trouble making monthly, and daily life expenses, especially since Doordash delivery app deactivated me for no good reason. I know this car is going to fail before I have the opportunity to get a new one. My credit is not there and don’t have any family that I talk to or that are willing to help so I am out on my own. Working gig work is best suited for my situation and what I enjoy doing as I do have a few broken discs in my back and neck, and with living in the car makes it very stressful and hard have a normal job. I do have a merchandise store for my YouTube channel that I make $20 or less a month on average, and income from the YouTube channel is less then $250 a month, mostly donations. I have no credit cards, no 401k, no savings, I literally live day to day for the past 1.5 years and have struggled due to stress and sleeping, living and working out of a small SUV that is slowly dying. All funds will be used towards the purchase of a late 2000’s early 2010’s Toyota Sienna or Honda Oddesey, something with a more dependable motor, more room, and more efficient on fuel and for my lifestyle. If by chance there were any sort of extra funds raised beyond that would go to outfitting the van, an Rv type mattress, new cooler or fridge and just basic life needs of a homeless person to improve the day to day living situation. I don’t take asking for funds litely and wanted to do it myself, but I see the writing on the wall and it’s just not going to happen in time before the current vehicle dies and I will literally be stuck with no source of income, health issues and really be up the creek without a paddle in a boat with a hole in it! I appreciate anything you can do, if you can not donate I ask if you could at least watch my YouTube channel to help that way. Thanks for your time and please reach out if you have any questions. Thank you
