I'm a DoorDasher and this happened literally out of nowhere and without any warning. I was backing out of a customer's driveway last night and all of a sudden there was a bang and the whole front end of my Jeep was on the ground because the lower ball joint and CV axle had completely separated from the rest of the wheel.
If my car were only used for transportation this wouldn't be a big deal, but it's how I make a living and this put my income down to $0 instantly so fixing it is literally the difference between having a roof over my head and being homeless. I don't have supportive family members that I can turn to when things like this go wrong and this was so unexpected that I don't have any other choice but to ask the community for help.
I'm needing $25 for ball joints, $80 for a CV axle, I need to be able to pay the friend that's going to fix it for his time, and I'd like to pay back my awesome DoorDash customer the $150 she spent on the tow truck to help me get home. I'm also behind on my rent and utilities and would have been caught up on both if this hadn't happened, so I'm needing to raise about $800 ASAP.
I have PayPal and CashApp if you'd like to send a donation, and if everyone could please engage with this post as much as possible and give it the momentum it needs that would be amazing.
