Help My Hardworking Dad Get Back on the Road

On a regular drive, going to help out a family member, a deer darted in front of my dad’s truck. In an instant, the vehicle he depended on—and loved—was totaled.

My dad, Manuel, has insurance, but his truck was older, so the payout won’t come close to replacing it. And for a man who has spent his life working multiple jobs to provide for his family, being without reliable transportation isn’t just an inconvenience—it affects his ability to work and live his daily life.

If you know Manuel, you know he’s the kind of person who shows up. For his family. For his friends. For anyone who needs him. He’s not someone who asks for help easily, which is why I’m asking on his behalf.

With his birthday coming up this December, I’d love nothing more than to surprise him with a way forward. Every dollar brings him closer to getting back behind the wheel.

Even if you can’t contribute, sharing this page would mean the world to us. Thank you for helping me do something meaningful for a man who has given so much.
