I am reaching out because my family and I are facing a tough situation. We live in our van—myself, my girlfriend, and our two dogs. With the summer heat getting worse, our van’s AC has stopped working, making it almost unbearable for all of us. On top of that, the front wheel bearing is close to going out, and I need to get it fixed so I can safely get to and from work. Right now, I can’t afford to pay a mechanic for these repairs, and it’s hard to know what to do next. Donations will go directly to fixing the AC and the wheel bearing. This means I’ll be able to drive safely, keep my dogs comfortable and safe when I’m at work, and not worry about leaving them in a hot van with the windows closed. The wheel bearing is urgent, and the AC compressor is expensive, so your support will help cover parts and labor for both. Every bit helps us stay safe and keep moving forward. Thank you for stopping at my fundraiser and taking the time to consider helping us. I don’t expect any donations to help me out from strangers, but I’m having to think outside the box right now and hope. Your kindness means more than you know, and we’re grateful for any support you can offer.
