My name is John, and I’m going through a difficult time financially and physically. I’ve been dealing with chronic back problems and nerve pain that make it hard for me to stand, walk for long periods, or lift heavy things. Because of this, working a regular job has become extremely difficult. I’ve been trying to make ends meet by doing Uber driving and Uber Eats when my body allows it, but recently things spiraled. I fell behind on several bills and am now four car payments behind, which means my car is at risk of being repossessed. I have one week left. On top of that, my car insurance recently expired, which means I can’t safely or legally drive for work right now. My car is not just transportation — it’s also the only way I can get to my doctor, chiropractic, and acupuncture appointments that help me manage the pain I live with daily. Without the car, I lose both my transportation and the ability to earn income when my health allows it.

I also have dentist and braces appointments, and I’m preparing for jaw surgery soon to correct an underbite. The doctors will move my upper jaw forward to help me chew food better and improve my balance and overall health. Right now, I’m struggling to keep up with basic bills because my back pain makes it very difficult to work. I’ve tried doing Uber when I can, but falling behind on car payments and losing insurance has made it impossible to keep earning consistently. Any funds raised will go toward catching up on car payments, restoring insurance, handling necessary car maintenance, covering essential bills, and helping me continue attending medical appointments and preparing for surgery.

It’s hard for me to ask for help, but I’m hoping that with a little support I can get through this setback and regain some stability. Even small contributions or sharing this fundraiser would mean a lot and help me get through this difficult time. Thank you to anyone who reads this or chooses to help.
