Help me commute to work

My scooter was stolen!! the one thing I worked 16 months to save up for.

Today, around 5 pm, after a long and exhausting day at work, I stopped by FreshCo to pick up a few groceries. I parked my scooter, the same one I had dreamed about and saved for over the course of 16 months. It was more than just a scooter. It was my lifeline to work, and a symbol of my hard work and independence.

Fifteen minutes. That’s all it took.

In that short window, someone came with a bolt cutter and stole it all, chain, scooter and helmet, everything!!! Just like that, it was gone. The scooter I had owned for barely three weeks. The scooter that was supposed to make my life a little easier. Gone!!

I can't begin to describe the feeling of walking out and seeing the empty space where it used to be. The sinking realization that everything I had worked so hard for had vanished in seconds. I felt crushed, helpless, like the ground had been pulled from under me.

This wasn’t just a theft :( it was a loss of mobility, security, and a piece of my dignity. I use that scooter to get to work every day. Now I’m left scrambling for a way to get by.

If you’ve ever had something stolen from you!! something you poured your time, effort, and heart into, you know how painful and violating it feels. I never thought I’d be in the position to ask for help, but here I am, trying to piece my life back together.

If you can help me get back on the road, even just a little, I would be incredibly grateful. Every bit counts. Thank you for reading and for caring.
