Hello everyone, my name is Leonardo Barreto. I am a hardworking legal immigrant here in the US. I just started my own yerba mate business and I am fully in debt while trying to make my dream of bringing new healthy and tasty products to Americans come true. I sell beverages as a vendor and I can barely pay my investments.

On the night of November 23rd, 2025, while driving Uber to pay for college and bills, a group of criminals colluded to try to claim insurance money. They intentionally crashed into my car, leaving me emotionally damaged, physically hurt and also damaging my property.

I do not know how I will pay for the repairs since my insurance does not cover everything and also does not cover rideshare car damage claims. I need your help to be able to continue driving.

Thank you so much for your consideration and support.

Leo Barreto
