Help a Hardworking Uber Driver Recover After Major Surgery
Campaign Summary:
We are raising funds to support a devoted father and full-time Uber driver who is recovering from a major back surgery. Due to being self-employed, he is ineligible for disability benefits or unemployment assistance. Now without any source of income, he faces a serious financial crisis. Your support can help cover his essential monthly expenses while he heals and regains his strength.
⸻
The Full Story:
Meet a man who’s driven hundreds of people to their destinations—rain or shine, day or night—as a full-time Uber driver. Always polite, hardworking, and dedicated to providing for his family, he has now found himself in an unexpected and life-changing situation.
Several months ago, he suffered from debilitating back pain and was forced to undergo major back surgery. The recovery has been difficult and lengthy—and during this time, he’s been unable to drive or earn income.
Here’s the challenge: because rideshare drivers are classified as independent contractors (1099 workers), he does not qualify for disability insurance or unemployment benefits. This hardworking father is now left with zero income, yet he still has to cover essential living costs, including:
• Mortgage payments
• Utilities and basic bills
• Car insurance
• ️ Food and daily necessities
His monthly expenses total around $4,000, and he has no financial safety net.
⸻
Why We Need Your Help:
This is someone who’s always worked hard and never asked for help. But now, it’s our turn to give back.
Your contribution will go directly toward:
• Covering 3–4 months of living expenses while he recovers
• Preventing him from falling behind on housing or bills
• Giving him peace of mind so he can focus on healing
Even a small donation can make a big difference. And if you’re unable to donate, sharing this campaign with your network means the world.

Let’s Help Him Get Back on His Feet
Please donate, share, and support however you can. Together, we can make a real difference in someone’s life.
Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and for believing in the power of community.
