Stand by Taylor: Keep His Van and Hope

Hi, my name is Taylor Matthews and I'm reaching out for help during one of the hardest moments of my life.

I’ve been in the hospital for over two weeks now due to a severe burn on my arm and a serious blood infection. It’s been a rough, painful journey — physically, emotionally, and financially. The doctors are working hard to get me through it, but I still have about a week left here before I can even think about getting back on my feet.

While I'm grateful to be alive and healing, I’m also facing the very real fear of losing my van — my lifeline, my transportation, and a huge part of my ability to keep working and rebuilding once I’m out of here.

Because I’ve been stuck in the hospital, I haven’t been able to work or make money. And now, I’m at risk of falling behind on payments and possibly losing the van that I worked so hard for. It’s not just a vehicle — it’s how I earn, how I move, how I survive.

Anything you can give — big or small — will go directly toward keeping me afloat while I recover, and giving me a fighting chance to stand back up after all this.

If you’re not able to donate, just sharing this means more than you know.

Thank you for your time, your kindness, and your support.
