Hello, my name is Julio. When I was 16, I was hit by a car while riding my bike to school. At the time, my family told me to just walk it off, but the injury has followed me into adulthood. Recently, my sciatica flared up badly because I wasn’t on my medication, and I slipped and fell in my kitchen. The pain has made it hard to keep up with work and provide for my family the way I want to.

I’ve been working since I was 12, and it’s always been important to me to support my loved ones. Right now, I feel like I’m letting them down, especially my wife. She wakes up at 4am every day just to get to work by 7:30, and sometimes she doesn’t get home until late at night. Not having a car makes her commute exhausting and stressful, and I worry about her safety and well-being every day.

I’m raising funds to buy my wife a car so she can get to work safely and our family can manage daily needs while I recover. Any support or advice you can offer would mean the world to us. Thank you for taking the time to read our story and for considering helping us during this difficult time.
