My car was broken into, the window was smashed, and my steering wheel and ignition switch were completely damaged. I rely on my car to support myself as a Lyft driver, and I was planning to start DoorDashing soon. It was my main source of income, and now I have to deal with insurance costs just to get it repaired. On top of that, rent is due, and it's the beginning of the month so utilities are also piling up. I am still searching for full-time work, and it's been going on three years.

The funds raised will help me cover the cost of car repairs, pay for rent and utilities, and support me as I continue my job search. This setback has made it even harder to get by, but with your help, I can overcome this hurdle and keep moving forward.

Your support would help me ensure that I have what I need to get my car repaired, pay for living expenses, and offset this challenge I am currently facing. I have a hard time asking for help like this, and I know many people are struggling as well—that is never lost on me. If you're unable to donate, that's okay; I understand and am grateful for you reading my story and sharing it with your communities.
