Support Zach After a Life-Altering Car Accident

Yesterday, I was in a car accident that was not my fault. I’m incredibly grateful to be okay, but the crash has turned my life upside down in an instant.

After the accident, I went to the hospital due to severe back pain. I’m still dealing with pain and limited mobility, and even basic physical activity is difficult right now.

On top of that, my car is most likely a total loss — and losing it has taken away my ability to work and provide for my family.

A Father Trying to Keep Things Together

Many of you know I’m a dad first. Everything I do is for my child and to build a future for us. I’ve always worked hard and taken pride in handling things on my own, but right now I need help to get through this.

Where Things Stand

I’ve talked to my lawyer and my insurance company, and now I’m stuck in limbo while everything gets sorted out. Anyone who has been in this position knows how slow and stressful this process can be — and in the meantime, bills keep coming and real life doesn’t pause.

Right now, I can’t work until I recover physically and until I have a way to get around again.

My Work & Why This Hurts

I run a small business called The Wandering Wiener, where I hand-make and sell artisan sausages. My car isn’t just transportation — it’s how I pull my sausage cart to events and markets.

When I’m not operating the cart, I drive Uber to support my family.

This accident didn’t just take out my vehicle — it wiped out both of my income streams at once.

How Your Support Helps

Your support will help cover:

✅ Replacing my car / transportation

✅ Medical & recovery costs

✅ Bills and essential living expenses while I heal

✅ Keeping my business afloat during this setback

I’m doing everything in my power to move forward, but right now I need a bridge to get through this immediate period until insurance resolves and I’m able to work again.

Thank You

If you can donate — thank you from the bottom of my heart.

If you can share — that support means the world too.

I’m grateful to still be here, and I’m determined to recover, get back to work, and rebuild stronger than ever — for myself and for my kid.

Thank you for your kindness and support.

— Zach
