Hi friends and family, I’m reaching out today with a humble heart and a big ask. Many of you know that for years, I’ve made my living as a driver for hire—using my vehicle to transport people, deliver goods, and essentially be the reliable wheels that many in our community count on. It’s honest work that has allowed me to support my family, and I’m grateful for it every day.

However, my trusty and beloved Sienna, which has been a true workhorse, is now on its very last leg. We’ve journeyed together for over 400,000 miles, and the constant repairs are becoming more frequent, more serious, and frankly, unsustainable. The reality is, to keep doing my job safely and reliably, I need to upgrade to a newer, more dependable vehicle. That’s why I’m starting this campaign. I’m saving diligently, but the biggest hurdle is the substantial down payment needed to secure an auto loan for a suitable work vehicle. A larger down payment isn't just about getting the car—it’s the key to securing a manageable monthly payment that fits our family budget.

This is where your support can make a transformative difference. Any contribution you can make will go directly and entirely into that down payment fund. Even the amount you might spend on a pizza or a coffee outing would help chip away at this goal and bring more stability to my family’s future. This isn’t just a car; it’s my livelihood, my office, and the tool that allows me to continue providing. With your help, I can avoid being sidelined and get back on the road with confidence. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for taking the time to read my story, for your consideration, and for any support you feel able to give—whether that’s through a donation or simply by sharing this campaign with your network. It means the world to us.

With immense gratitude, Augie
