My name is James, and I’m reaching out for support after an unexpected setback. Recently, my car was totaled in an accident caused by a city bus. The process to get a claim through the city is slow and uncertain, leaving me without the vehicle I rely on every day. My car was more than just transportation—it was essential for my work, appointments, and staying connected with my community.

I’m asking for help to raise funds for a down payment on a reliable vehicle. With your support, I’ll be able to secure financing, get back on the road, and continue making a difference for children and families in Cook County. Every contribution will help me move forward and ensure I can keep supporting my team and the community.
