On Monday, December 29, 2025 my brother, Matt's, car was stolen out of his driveway and crashed into a home just a few blocks down the street. The car is completely totaled, and the person responsible is still unknown. Unfortunately, Matt’s insurance didn’t cover theft, suddenly leaving him with no car and no way to get to work—while still managing his regular expenses.

Aside from the financial loss, this car was more than just a car to Matt. It brought him joy and a purpose at the lowest time in his life. After losing our mom at just 14, life was hard, and finding motivation was even harder. He always had an interest in cars, researching, watching different shows, and following other enthusiasts. When he finally was old enough to get his own car, he got this Infiniti which gave him purpose and became his outlet—something to work on, share with others, and be proud of. He even started an Instagram page documenting his builds and connecting with others in the community. The car gave him purpose, something to be passionate about and work hard for at a time in life where that was hard to find.

Now that’s all gone. We’re asking for help so Matt can start fresh with another car and rebuild what he loves over time. Any donation, big or small, will make a difference.

Thank you for any support you can give to Matt during this tough time.
