Help Josh with Urgent Car Repair to Avoid Eviction

Hi everyone,

My name is Josh, and I'm a 30-year-old trying to make ends meet in Oregon as an Uber Eats and DoorDash delivery driver. For me, my car isn't just a convenience; it's my livelihood, my only source of income, and quite frankly, my lifeline right now.

Last week, my reliable 2013 Chevy Volt suddenly went into "limp mode." This means it's completely undrivable. The mechanic confirmed my worst fear: a radiator replacement service is urgently needed. Without this repair, my car is nothing more than a very expensive paperweight.

The Harsh Reality: No Car, No Income, No Safety Net

Here's where things get critical. As a gig worker, I only earn about $2,000 a month, and every penny goes towards living expenses. I have absolutely no savings to cover this unexpected repair. Because my car is my income, I literally cannot work until it's fixed. I'm facing a complete halt to my earnings.

I've explored every possible alternative. In Oregon, commercial use of rental platforms like Turo is not allowed, so that's out. And traditional car rental companies like Hertz or Avis require a credit card from a major bank or a $500 security deposit if using a debit card – neither of which I have. I am truly out of options.

My rent is due in just two short weeks. Without my car, there's no way for me to earn the money needed to pay it. The thought of eviction and potentially becoming homeless, with nowhere to even sleep, is a terrifying reality I'm staring down. I don't have family support to lean on, and asking friends for a short-term loan isn't an option for me.

Why Your Help is My Only Hope

This GoFundMe isn't just about fixing a car; it's about helping me keep a roof over my head and getting back on my feet. The funds raised will go directly and immediately to the radiator replacement service for my 2013 Chevy Volt. I will provide updates with repair estimates and receipts for full transparency.

Every dollar brings me closer to regaining my independence and avoiding a devastating situation. Even a small donation makes an enormous difference. If you're unable to contribute financially, please consider sharing my story with your network. Your compassion and support can help prevent a young, hardworking individual from falling into an impossible situation.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for considering helping me during this incredibly challenging time. I promise to pay it forward when I am back on my feet.

With immense gratitude,

Josh Healey
