Hi, my name is Lucky; this☝️is my brother Zayne. Everyone who knows him loves him; I'm not just saying that because he's my brother. He is the kind of guy that will give the shirt off his back in the pouring rain for a total stranger. I've watched him give his last few dollars to a homeless person when he didn't have it to spare. That's genuinely who he is; he got that from our mother. She taught us never to look down on anyone and to give when we can. He will never ask anyone for help, no matter how much he struggles. He will literally go without before he burdens another person. Unfortunately, Zayne has been dealing with a few minor setbacks recently. He's not an irresponsible person whatsoever; he just hit hard times as everyone else has. He gave up his GM position because he was getting up at 4 am and working until closing, 6-7 days a week, with no overtime or bonuses. As soon as he got the position, they had to temporarily suspend the bonuses because of covid. Yet, he had covid twice because they stayed open during the lockdown. The amount of hours he put into that place was above and beyond, yet he was making the minimum. I've never seen a more dedicated employee. He had an excellent score on his health code inspections and the highest in his district. He prided himself on how well he kept that place clean. It's sad, but that's rare these days. His dedication was extraordinary, but his whole life was about that place. He had no time for a social life. Eventually, everyone has their breaking point. He didn't want to leave, but there was no room for him to advance. After dwelling on it, he decided to take a chance at a different job. He would be making the same salary but fewer hours. This would allow him the opportunity to go back to college. Well, it wasn't as easy as he hoped it would be. Most people don't like their jobs, but he signed a one-year contract with a dog grooming company. I'm sure I don't need to explain why it's not the greatest job. He loves animals, but it's a disgusting job that most people, including myself, don't have the stomach for. He comes home at 10 pm, covered in dog hair and urine. He goes straight into the shower, then sleeps to get up and do it again tomorrow. Not once have I heard him complain about it, but I can see it all over his face. He looks so miserable these days. It breaks my heart because he's the most positive person I know. He's the one who always finds the positive, whereas most of us only see the negative. It's strange seeing him like this. He recently ended his long-term relationship with his girlfriend, which forced him to temporarily move back home with my parents. No one likes to go back home to mom and dad, but the breakup was not planned. I don't want to say anything out of respect for her because we still love her and wish her nothing, but the best, but my brother needed to leave. He's trying so hard to get his life going somewhere, but it's always something that gets in the way. He takes it as a lesson learned and moves on the best he can. He paid his car off; days later, the engine light came on, which cost him a few pennies to get serviced. Then he hit something on the freeway, flattened his tire, and ripped off part of his fender. He's been battling sleep apnea which makes his days a little more challenging. He also gets horrible headaches from severe allergies. You know how bad it is not to have a good night's sleep and then have a headache on top of it. He's miserable. He's getting a sleep apnea machine, so hopefully, that will make it a little easier. He's been trying to go back to college, but he had to put it on hold because of these minor setbacks. He applied for an RV trailer to put on my parent's property. I know he hates feeling like a burden to them. He got approved, but because he has never had a credit card, he has what they called ghost credit. He rented his apartment for three years, but it's not showing on his credit reports...if it had been negative, I guarantee it would have been reported. Nothing is. My parents financed the car with him as a co-signer. It was supposed to be the other way around. They lied and told them he would still get the credit, but he didn't. He made all the payments and recently paid it off. So because of this, they require a more significant downpayment. He had some money saved up, but he was short by $2100, and that's with the money my parents gave him, too. He's so depressed trying to find ways to get the money by the 28 before his offer is expired. It would be a win-win for him and my parents. They were living their best life now that all their kids had moved out. I want to surprise him and help him with the rest of the down payment to ease a little stress and anxiety. I know that many people are struggling, and God knows there are more in need of donations; I get that, but $5 $10 from enough people would add up fast. I can promise you that Zayne will pay it forward. Getting this RV will give him the peace of mind of being out of my parent's home while he's finishing his education. Please help me surprise Zayne. Anything you can spare will be greatly appreciated. I will post an update on the RV. Thank you in advance. Even if you can't donate, wishing positive thoughts for my brother is greatly appreciated just as much. ✌️
