Hello, my name is Ryan Tucker also known as Starship Gazer and I'm creating this fund raiser to raise money for several critical and urgently needed car repairs. I am currently trapped at home unable to drive to Starbase and unable to work my part time uber/lyft driving jobs to make money until these are fixed:

1. On Saturday May 2nd 2026 my car's radiator cooling fan suddenly stopped working causing my car's coolant to overheat and boil out of the coolant tank. I took the car to a mechanic for a full computer electrical system diagnostic and he said the radiator fan needs replaced. So I need $135 to order a new cooling fan assembly online and $185 labor costs to install it. I have also been unable to drive to Starbase or work my part time uber/lyft driving jobs for the past 5 days ($250) and counting which is at least $50 per day of lost income that is needed to pay daily expenses and critical bills.

2. Recently my car's front driver's side wheel has been making loud noises every time I turn the steering wheel to the right. I had it inspected by a mechanic and he said it needs a new wheel hub bearing assembly. It is getting louder and will soon make the car unsafe to drive until it is fixed. So I need to order a new front wheel hub bearing for $75 and $130 labor cost to install.

3. Several weeks ago I had replace 2 radiator cooling hoses and clamps for $115 and the radiator cap $20 and buy 2 gallons of coolant $36 and tools $65 to install them. I also lost 3 days $150 of driving income during that time. Those expenses and lost income have put me behind on paying critical bills.

My car is a 2016 Chevy Cruze Limited LT with 193,000 miles. I have driven over 111,000 miles while non-stop continuously documenting Starbase and Starship development over the past 5 years and 2 months and have had to spend many many thousands of dollars on various car repairs and maintenance. I currently cannot afford to cover such expensive repairs with my extremely limited monthly supporter income. I have worked as a part time Uber and Lyft driver for the past 6 years while full time documenting Starbase and Starship development and have to have a fully functional, reliable and safe vehicle in order to continue driving uber/lyft passengers to make money to cover my basic daily expenses and to document Starbase.

So I am requesting total emergency assistance of $1,161 for car repairs/lost driving income and $90 for Gofundme fees/taxes = $1,251. Thank you very very very much for donations of any size!! I will post all receipts and updates here after the fundraiser is complete. Thank you!!

I am also including a link to my Paypal donation page here for possible immediate rental car donations. Right now a lot of critical activities are happening at Starbase that I have been waiting years to document and the only way I can get to Starbase is if I can get Paypal donations that will allow me to immediately acquire a rental car. Any Paypal donations for a rental car are very very massively appreciated!! Click the link for immediate Paypal rental car donations:
