Help Mark Rebuild: Fund Essential Car Fixes
Donation protected
Mark has a plan. He just needs a little help to make it work.
After losing his job in a changing industry, facing personal hardships, and exhausting every option, Mark found himself homeless. But he never gave up. He never lost his dignity. And when a Good Samaritan met him on a freezing, rainy night, a community including BAARC came together to help.
It began with a car—a 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe—so he could start rebuilding his life. It’s his shot at getting back to work and finding stability
But with 218,714 miles on it, this car is going to need maintenance. And without that, everything falls apart again.
That’s where we come in.
This GoFundMe isn’t charity. It’s a practical step toward self-sufficiency. Every dollar raised goes directly to keeping Mark on the road so he can:
✔️ Get to job interviews
✔️ Secure stable work
✔️ Work toward permanent housing
We’re asking for your help to cover essential repairs and maintenance—the difference between Mark moving forward or staying stuck.
If you’ve ever wondered whether a small act of kindness can actually change someone’s life, this is your chance.
Donate today and help Mark take the next step.
