Help Jeromy Get Back on the Road

My name is Tiffany, and I am raising funds for a community member that I met through our Buy Nothing/Sell Nothing website requesting a ride to the grocery store to get food and potable water for his family.

I put my hand up and met Jeromy Lippold for the first time when we began our weekly journey to Oregon City for groceries and to fill his water jugs.

He explained that he didn't have a car because he was recently rear-ended, which totaled his car. The insurance payout didn't cover the entire amount he owed on the car loan, which only created more problems with debt and credit issues.

Subsequently, he was let go from his job as a delivery driver because they could no longer hold it for him without transportation.

We live in a rural area where there is no public transportation to get you to town.

I take Jeromy to the store once a week, but I know he is struggling financially without a job or car, and I also know he very much wants to get back to work.

The truth is, I am worried about him as he messaged recently that he could no longer afford his cell phone bill. I am worried that the next thing to go could be his rental home, so I asked if he would allow me to start this GoFundMe to crowdsource for support. He agreed, and here we are.

Jeromy is a single dad to 4 kids and a dog. He is sweet and funny, and I would love to see us come together to help him back on his feet. He just needs reliable transportation, and he can take it from there.

We would both appreciate any amount of support. Thank you!
