My name is Gabriel, and I'm reaching out because I need help getting a reliable truck. Living in a small town without my own vehicle has made life incredibly challenging. I moved here years ago because my mom wanted to leave her boyfriend, and as a minor, I didn't have a choice. Now, as an adult (19), I'm working hard as a grocery clerk, paying rent not and now I can’t go back because she’s moved into a smaller house with no room for me, I’m doing everything I can to get by. But without a vehicle of my own, I feel trapped and isolated. The car I use isn't legally mine, and with my mom filing for bankruptcy, she can't sell it to me or co-sign for a loan my dad won’t and grandparents can’t. It's falling apart faster than I can keep up with, and every day I'm reminded that it's not really mine.

Having my own truck would change everything. It would mean I could get to work reliably, run errands, and finally have the freedom to leave town to see my friends—something I haven't been able to do in a long time, it crush’s and tears me down to not being able to see them the friends I couldn’t share my graduation with here I was alone only my family and girlfriend and some her family to see me but I wish I was there with my friends because graduation felt meaningless I could have official proper goodbye this would also give me the ability to haul things if I ever need to move again, and most importantly, it would help lift the weight that's been dragging down my mental health. I'm even planning to make a YouTube video to share my experience and raise awareness about how tough it can be for people like me.

I'm asking for your help to make this dream a reality. Any support you can give will make a huge difference in my life and help me move forward. Thank you for caring and for considering a donation.
