Help Junior Rebuild After Car Theft

Donation protected
This is our friend Junior. This morning, November 18th, around 3am, Junior heard some noises outside his house. Curiosity got the better of him and he went outside to check if everything was alright, only to watch his car get stolen from in front of his house by two people and vanish into the night.

Having his car stolen is a hardship that makes it it impossible to him to get to work 30 minutes away, get his kids to and from school, and live his day-to-day life. Uber and car rental are both expensive options that don't fix the underlying problem: Junior needs a car.

That's where we come in! We want to help Junior get into a replacement car. And with that, get back some safety and peace of mind. He's more than a member of the Second Floor Games community - he's a friend and a single dad with two kids trying to make ends meet. But we can't do it alone. We need some help from our community, family, and friends. We're hoping to raise $15,000 to help get him a newer, safe set of wheels that he can use to get back to what's most important: living his life and spending time with his boys.

In the car were a couple of skateboards and a bottle of cologne that belonged to Junior, but some of the items in the car aren't replacable. Junior's art portfolio - showcasing over five years of artwork and pieces - was in the car when it was stolen. To make matters worse, it wasn't just his belongings that went missing, either. Clothing and sneakers belonging to both of his boys were in the car, as well. Built into the cost to get Junior a new car is also a budget to help him replace the items that belong to him and his kids.
