My name is Jose, and I live with my wife and our 1-year-old daughter in the beautiful small town of Arivaca. Work opportunities here are limited, so I do what I can—working under the table at a job I love. It’s enough to keep the lights on and put food on the table, but not much more. Our family car, which we brought all the way from the east coast, has been breaking down constantly. Every spare dollar and ounce of energy I have goes into keeping it running, but it’s getting harder to keep up.

A reliable vehicle is essential for me to keep working and supporting my family. Right now, the stress of not knowing if our car will make it another week is weighing on us. I want to provide stability for my wife and daughter, and having a dependable work truck would make all the difference. It would mean I can keep working, get my family where they need to go, and focus on building a better future for us.

We are also holding a fundraiser for me and my brother on Saturday, January 31st, starting at 11 am. Whoever helps, I appreciate you from the bottom of my heart. Anything helps, and your support would mean the world to my family. Thank you for taking the time to read our story and for considering lending a hand.
