Help AJ Provide for His 3-Year-Old Daughter After a Racist
Donation protected
My name is AJ, and I need your help after something I never thought would happen to me. I was simply doing my job that day going door-to-door to hand out information about neighborhood utility upgrades that people had already been notified about in the mail. I wasn’t selling anything, just leaving information like I always do. After working in the area for about an hour, I knocked on one more door. The wife opened it, and I could tell immediately she was upset. I politely said, “I’m so sorry if this isn’t a good time. My name is AJ, and I’m the project manager for the upgrades in your neighborhood.” Instead of just closing the door, she called her husband. Her husband came running out, and before I could even step off their porch, he started screaming the N-word at me, yelling, “Get off my property! Get out of my neighborhood!” I was already walking away when I realized both of them were coming after me. That’s when I pulled out my phone to record because in that moment, I was terrified for my life. I have a 4-year-old daughter to take care of, and since this happened, I haven’t been able to bring myself to go back to work. That fear lives in me now. I never imagined I would be threatened and attacked with hate just for doing my job. I am asking for your help during this difficult time while I try to recover from this and find a way to provide for my little girl.
