CRIME VICTIM, needs HELP-CAR REPAIR & ROAD READY
Donation protected
Born in very rural Gates County, N.C. , Bracy has always lived being caring, respectful, honest,and having a strong love for GOD, family, animals, and especially is crazy about plants! He had a devastating near fatal illness which kept him hospitalized/ medical recovery homed for more than 7 months in 2017/2018. He was operated on OVER 20 times in this very short time period. He lost very much/almost everything that really mattered to him economically/ mentally/ spiritually/ lovingly during his very long time away from home. He fairly recently saved money, bought a used car, and had it towed to be repaired to run again. Since finally getting it back, just a few weeks ago, he was trying again to save up the money to make it road legal [tax, title, tags, inspection, and insurance ] so he would finally have transportation again. Then on Saturday, July 9, 2022, he walked outside to go walk his dog, and just happened to catch 2 guys under his car cutting off the catalytic converter, their vehicle parked behind his, very close, where you couldn't see it very well from inside his house.
Always a quick thinker, he walked up and reached inside their car, took out the keys, then put them in his pocket, and then called 911. The sheriff deputies came very quickly and arrested the 2 thieves, but that leaves Bracy with his car AGAIN inoperable, needing a tow truck to come get/repair/ replace the catalytic converter and any damage they did underneath cutting it off. He also may possibly need a new tire [ for some reason one is now flat on the side the thieves were ? ] / and does not know what other possible damage they may have done underneath his car with the long power saw they were using. I
know that life is hard for many people right now financially and for many reasons. Other people have also had terrible things/ tragedies happen to them, through no fault of their own, such as Bracy has, that deserve a little help to make things RIGHT again/ give them a little justice.
ANY donation to help him will be greatly appreciated and is desperately needed to get his car repaired, make it road legal, and help him get his old life back before he almost died, and now victimized by criminals .
In the past, he has missed doctor appointments, getting groceries/ household/ personal grooming needs, and picking up his meds when he runs out. He is so tired of burdening his family for rides, he realizes that it is just not fair to them either, thus why he is trying so hard to get this car on the road. Please help with whatever you can spare. It is most certainly needed and appreciated! Thank YOU so much !
- It has been a hard, long road of recovery for him, and now THIS damage to a car he just got back good from being repaired in an attempted catalytic converter theft. Not all heroes wear capes, folks ! He bravely stopped these 2 thieves, suspected of stealing from many other local people in his community, and KEPT them there for the law to arrest- unarmed !
