Hello!

My name is Braden, I’m 19 and as of today, 01/9/26, I just got my license! I’m super happy and excited about this accomplishment, as clearly, I’m a little overdue on getting it.

And you may be thinking, “Really? 19 and just getting your license?!” I know, it sounds bad, but we all bloom at different times, and sometimes we’re held back by different obstacles in life.

Moreover, my personal life has intervened with saving up for a car, helping friends with money, helping family with money, and even trying to invest in things to help me in my future, but I have gotten scammed or bait-and-switched into a scam or pyramid scheme.

With that said, this isn’t just about me but also my future and what I can do with a car. My girlfriend is being told by her parents that once she turns 18 (February, 2026), she would need to begin paying rent, which she cannot do due to our financial situation, and she is unable to move in with me as we would end up in the same situation, having to pay too high of a cost for rent, leading to my main point.

By raising this money so I could get a car, it opens more job opportunities and helps me get mobile, so that I can move on to other jobs like DoorDashing or any other services that require me to drive there. I have my license as well, just no car.

With all sincerity, I am just being transparent, no crazy backstory or big phenomenon, just looking for help is all! Literally anything and everything is a blessing and will be accounted for to help me ensure a better future for myself and my girlfriend!

Thank you.
