My name is Anthony, and I’m starting this GoFundMe for my friend and coworker Kevin — a man God placed in my path a little over six weeks ago, long before I understood what he was truly going through.

When I first interviewed Kevin, something in my spirit knew I was supposed to bring him onto our team. I couldn’t explain it — he arrived late, his clothes were worn, and he looked like he had just come from a long day of painting or working outside. But beneath all of that, I felt God saying, “Hire him. Don’t miss this one.”

So I did. It didn’t fully make sense at the time, but I couldn’t shake the feeling.

It wasn’t until a day or two later that I learned the truth:

Kevin had been living in his car for the last 3–4 months.

He was staying at a truck stop in Yukon with everything he owned stuffed into a couple of bags. His brakes were nearly gone, his tires were bald, and after work he was driving delivery jobs just to survive and keep up with payments on a car he couldn’t afford — the final bit of stability he had left.

How did this happen?

Because when the mother of his children and his kids faced losing housing and the possibility of being separated, Kevin gave them the last of his money so they wouldn’t end up on the streets or in foster care.

His own family is broken — his father is homeless and battling addiction, and his mother is gone too.

He has no safety net.

None.

Yet every morning, Kevin was the first person at work.

He calls people all day.

He knocks doors.

He shows up with determination, trying to build a future.

But in this industry, it takes time to build a pipeline and start earning real income — time he simply doesn’t have when he’s fighting just to get through each day.

I remember driving home after learning all of this, calling my wife and telling her what I had discovered. Honestly, I wasn't quite sure what she would think. Without hesitation she said, “We need to help him, Anthony.”

In that moment, I knew God was at work, and it was no accident that He had led Kevin to us.

I’ve helped with food, clothes, and covering temporary shelter where I can, but motels and extended-stay living are expensive. His room ended today, and while I was able to get him another motel for tonight, tomorrow he will once again have nowhere to go. After working all day, he often ends up panhandling late into the night hoping for $10 or $20 just to eat or find a place to sleep. I am committed to helping him with every resource available to me — but right now, mine alone are not enough.

And a few weeks ago, things got even worse:

His car was repossessed.

Not only did he lose transportation — he lost the only shelter he had left. Now he relies on coworkers for rides to and from work, to get food, or anywhere else he needs to go.

He also lost everything inside the car.

Even his Bible.

Kevin has almost nothing- literally a small suit case, and a trash bag full of his belongings- yet he loves the Lord deeply. He has a kind heart, a respectful spirit, and a quiet strength that honestly inspires me. He shows up every single day determined to make something happen. He refuses to turn to anything illegal or harmful to make money. He is not perfect — none of us are — but he is trying. Really trying. And you can see the pain in his eyes on the hard days, like today.

I believe God cares very deeply for Kevin, and I believe that we — as a community of believers — have a responsibility to care too.

Too often we see a need and look for reasons not to meet it.

We justify our way out of generosity, just as the religious leaders once asked Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?”

But Jesus was clear: When we see a need, we meet it.

We look to be a neighbor- not ways to justify our passing by.

Kevin needs basic essentials:

A safe place to stay — he is not picky

Food

Clothes (3XL shirts, 42 waist pants)

A vehicle or transportation help

Any donations or resources that can help him get back on his feet

I’m helping him search for affordable housing options, but until then, he is in immediate need of funds just to eat and have somewhere safe to sleep each night.

Even a few dollars makes a real difference — truly.

A couple of dollars means Kevin can eat, buy shampoo or deodorant, wash his clothes, or cover a night of shelter.

If you feel led, please give whatever God puts on your heart.

And if you have resources, connections, clothes, or housing opportunities, please reach out to me directly.

Thank you for reading, sharing, donating, and praying. You have no idea how much it means. And I can promise you this: Every dollar given will change this man's life in ways he cannot accomplish on his own right now.

From the bottom of my heart — thank you.
