Hi everyone, my name is Paul Morales and I’m raising funds for my brother after a heartbreaking loss today.

While driving to a car event, his beloved 2020 Civic Type R caught fire in the engine bay. He immediately used a fire extinguisher, but it wasn’t enough. The fire department was able to put it out, but by then the damage was done — the car is a total loss.

This wasn’t just a car. It was:

• A major investment for his YouTube/content work @CTR_CJ

• A build that took countless hours of effort

• A passion project for the whole team

• A tool to inspire other Type R owners on what’s possible with basic tools and dedication

My brother is a military veteran, a father, a husband, and someone who spends every day helping others without ever expecting anything in return. He has poured his heart, time, and resources into this, and losing it has set him back to square one.

I want to give back to someone who has spent years serving and giving to others.

We are asking for help to get him back on his feet so he can rebuild, continue creating, and continue inspiring people in the car community.

Any donation, no matter how small, makes an impact. If you can’t donate, sharing this fundraiser means the world to us.

Thank you so much for your support and kindness.
