Help A Driver In Hard Times

As an Uber and Lyft driver in New York City, I work hard to keep a roof over my head and pay for the car I'm driving.  Well, hard times are upon me:  A passenger in my car falsely accused me of assault, and on Fri., Oct. 5th, I was arrested on what they call a DAT---a desk appearance ticket.  The charge was "Assault level 3"---a misdemeanor.  This lady said I grabbed her by the arm and removed her from the car.  I never laid a finger on her;  She left the car of her own free will.  There was a witness in the car, and I am trying to locate her.  I was released on my own recognizance.  My court date is Nov. 7th.

I never laid one finger on this very intoxicated lady, and I am entitled to a date in court.  However, New York's Taxi & Limousine Commission has suspended my license until the matter is resolved.  This happened Wed., Oct. 10th.  As a result, I am not able to drive and earn an income.  I spoke to a supervisor at the TLC, and they no longer take bonds for such cases.  In effect, I have been denied the presumption of innocence.  I have not been convicted of anything---and I know I didn't do anything!  Yet I cannot drive!

This has really knocked the wind out of me, and now everything seems to be coming down:  Not only is the bank telling me they will repossess the car, but my landlord has told me he will move to evict!

I have worked very hard over the years and I have tried to build a life for myself.  I enjoy my work and have received hundreds of compliments over the years.  I look forward to working online from home, which will give me some lee-way so I won't have to drive as much anymore.  That is a project that will have to wait.

In the meantime, if you would please donate what you can to my Go Fund Me campaign, I would be most grateful in getting back on my feet.  Thank You so much and God Bless You.
