My name is Jonathan, and I'm a miner, which isn't as glorious as you think it is sometimes...

Yesterday, I was taking the last three samples of an area when the road under our truck disintegrated, bordering a 250-foot cliff.

Our family went all in financially on this venture, so the truck being destroyed is a major hard hit on the family, especially since we have a baby due in six weeks, and this truck was how we got our kids to school.

I'm not looking for a handout. I'm looking for a hand up. I need help raising funds so that I can replace this vehicle. I'm not looking for a free ride; I'm looking for a way to take my children to school and a way to help with what I'm gonna need to get this accomplished.

If anybody out there can help, even with just one dollar, I'd be very grateful. If you can't, just share this. Maybe someone out there can help? Insurance won't cover this; they're calling it an act of God, which is legalese for "you're on your own." So any help would be very much appreciated. I'm lucky to be alive; I had to jump from the vehicle.

God bless you all.
