Jerry's Journey: A Father's Plea for Help

Donation protected
I've been disabled for 11 years, getting by on my disability. A lady hit me, totaled my Blazer, and I went 15 months without transportation.

A friend gave me an old Tahoe that they weren't using, which had many issues. I've been driving it for 5-6 years (absolutely love it), and now it has a lot needing attention that I just can't do.

So, I looked for a replacement and found a really well-maintained older model and was pre-approved with no money down and 60 months at $120 a month. I could do that!

I drove it, loved it, and found out they don't work with the pre-approved thing online.

I wound up borrowing the down payment and getting a 36-month payoff I, in hindsight, cannot afford.

I was desperate for a reliable ride and now I'm panicking. I don't know how to make this work.

I'm a boomer; it's very uncomfortable to beg, but I really do need some help.

My son was going to help me fix my house back up but was murdered in October of 2016, and I have a hot spot that needs fixing, and I just can't do it; my body won't let me.

Jesse also loved automotive work and would have helped me with that.

If I could get help with my forever Tahoe and roof repair, I would be forever grateful and could get back to just existing on my disability without the panic of how I'm going to do this.

I'm sure this Tahoe will outlive me, and if I were able to repair that roof without my son, I would.

I need to pay someone before it rots away.

I am unable to get this situation resolved any other way.

I greatly appreciate the consideration and possible help.

Thank you for looking.

Jerry Leopold.

Jesse's dad.
