Elijah is a veteran who needs help after enduring a series of life-shattering events. After returning from overseas, he worked hard to overcome PTSD and had created a happy life. Skilled at fixing things, he developed a successful handyman business. He married and had a home. He did beautiful custom woodwork and even taught martial arts to troubled youth. Then came a series of heartbreaking tragedies. His beloved wife was killed by another driver in a head-on collision. His rural home burned in a massive California wildfire. Finally, his work van was run off a country road by a logging truck, and all his tools stolen while he was hospitalized. Taken together these tragedies have been truly devastating. Elijah has sought support and counseling, and he remains resilient. But his lack of transportation has held him back from earning a living, and even threatened him and his dog with homelessness. Elijah now has a chance to purchase a reliable used truck to get to work, with a camper in which he could live. He needs $3000 for a down payment. The offer of the truck will be rescinded if he can't raise the money soon. Getting back to work will grant Elijah dignity and hope for the future.
