From Giving to Surviving: A Single Dad Needs Help!

Thank you for taking the time to read a little bit about my situation. My name is Jonathan, many of you may know me as Razehypeman. I’m a proud single father who’s always believed in the power of community. I believe so much in the power of a community that for the past 5+ years, I’ve made social media my full-time job—not just as a way to support my family, but as a platform to lift others up. A multi-time award-winning platform at that! Through the kindness of my followers and my own dedication, I’ve been able to give back over $270,000 to people in need over just a few short years. It’s been one of my life’s greatest privileges.

But now, I find myself on the other side of that story.

Over the last 3 years, I have been constantly facing many unexpected financial burdens, and it has left me and my child in an extremely difficult place. Urgent housing costs and the loss of reliable transportation have stacked up faster than I could recover. On top of that, essential bills are becoming unmanageable, and I’m struggling to keep up with even the most basic needs. Many curveballs have been thrown my way at the worst possible times, and I've been living the last few years climbing out of one hole after another only to be buried again very soon after. I'm asking for your help to get back on my feet so I can focus once again on being the dad my son deserves and getting back to growing my online presence with a goal of once again helping others! This time I will be sure to plan ahead for emergencies and not allow myself to be in such a helpless and hopeless position.

As someone who’s always worked hard and helped others, it’s humbling to admit I need help myself. I’ve explored every option, picked up what extra work I could, and stretched my resources to the limit. Several people have helped as much as they possibly could, but despite everything, I’m still falling behind.

This fundraiser is a chance for a community effort to come full circle. My immediate needs include assistance with catching up on vital bills and securing a dependable vehicle so I can get back to door dashing and things of that nature for extra income and to provide for my child with the consistency they deserve. My son is very active in sports (I also coach), and with several practices/games each week, a vehicle is truly needed! We also live 30 minutes away from literally anything. We can't walk to stores, etc. I actually have to drive him to and from the bus stop daily because they don't send a bus out as far as we live. I have bought "beater" cars since I was old enough to drive because it's all I've ever been able to afford. My vehicles have always been anywhere from $500-$2500, and I'm not looking for much more than that this time. I'm looking for something that can get us from point A to point B that is safe and reliable for a while.

If you’re able to help—whether it’s a donation or simply sharing this page—I’d be deeply grateful. Every contribution will make a tangible difference in our lives and help us move from crisis back to stability. Hopefully, shortly after I'm stable again, we can get back to helping others as well!

Thank you for taking the time to read my story and thank you for being part of the hope I’m holding onto.
