My name is Samantha, and I’m reaching out because my family and I are facing a tough time. A few weeks ago, I had an accident while working as a Doordash driver. I fell and broke my arm badly, which required surgery and has left me temporarily disabled. Unfortunately, my injury isn’t covered by workman’s comp, and the insurance provided by Doordash hasn’t helped with my bills, as no local providers will accept it. I was the only one working to support my family, so this accident has turned our lives upside down.

I started working for Doordash because I have custody of my three-year-old grandson, who is autistic and needs regular therapies. The flexible schedule allowed me to earn money while making sure he got to all his appointments. I also care for my mother, who is disabled. Now, with my injury, I’m unable to work for the next few months while I recover, and I’m struggling to keep up with rent and bills. I’ve tried everything I can with insurance, lawyers, and doctors, but nothing has worked so far.

I’m at a loss and don’t know what else to do, so I’m asking for a little help to get us through this difficult time. Any support you can give will help keep a roof over our heads and provide some stability for my grandson and mother while I heal. Thank you so much for reading and for any kindness you can share.
