Gig App worker with disability work vehicle stolen

My name is Casey, and I'm reaching out to you today with a heartfelt plea for assistance. I am a gig app worker who faces the daily challenges of living with a disability. For the past 12 years, I have been battling fibromyalgia, a condition that has taken a toll on my physical and emotional well-being. Despite the obstacles I face, I have been doing gig app work on my scooter to sustain myself, as I do not have a regular job or receive SSI support.

Recently, a devastating incident occurred that has left me feeling helpless. After a long day of exhausting work, my scooter, which has become my lifeline, was stolen from right in front of my house during the night. This loss has had a profound impact on my ability to make ends meet. As you may already know, I live on a very limited income and have virtually no savings. Every day, I push myself to the limits, doing what I can within the confines of my physical abilities to earn a modest living wage.

Unfortunately, my line of work exposes me to various dangers, and just a few weeks ago, I experienced a serious accident on my scooter, resulting in the damage of my phone and several critical parts of the bike. I spent the past few weeks tirelessly trying to repair my means of transportation and replace my phone, depleting what little resources I had left. Financially, I am now at an all-time low, with no safety net to rely on. This year has been particularly challenging, as it began with a major accident that left me unable to work for several months due to injuries sustained in my knee, ankles, and foot. As I gradually recovered from those setbacks, my life continued to spiral further into disrepair.

The stolen scooter not only represented my recent downfall but was also the key to my survival. It served as my primary mode of transportation, granting me a sense of freedom and independence while allowing me to minimize my carbon footprint. Without it, I find myself without an efficient means to earn a livelihood or even sustain myself. The impact of this loss has been devastating, and I am desperately seeking your support.

I humbly ask for any contribution, no matter how small, to help me navigate this difficult period of my life. Your generosity could potentially go towards purchasing a new scooter, enabling me to regain my ability to work and provide for my basic needs. Alternatively, your assistance could aid me in recovering from the continuous setbacks I have experienced over the past few months. Each time I try to piece my life back together, it seems to crumble once again, leaving me yearning for a chance to catch a break.

Your donation, however modest, would mean the world to me. It would be a beacon of hope amidst the constant turmoil I face, granting me a much-needed stepping stone toward stability and a brighter future. I cannot express enough how grateful I am for your support during this challenging time.

With heartfelt appreciation,

Casey
