Hi everyone! My name is Daniel, i’m 27 years old, and I’m going through the most trying period of my life.

I quit my job about a year ago to go pursue love and a life I actually care about. My fiance is from Brazil and is set to arrive in July, while I just launched my own company for the first time. The business is doing well, but its very early in the process and all my money/CCs are tied to the business. For a lack of better words, I’m flat broke. As any entrepreneur will tell you, the first half a year to a year of any business is insane. You can never have enough cash, especially if….

1) Your mom hates your fiance, despite never meeting her, only because she isn’t of the same faith as you. She has since thrown me out of our family apartment and completely cut me off, and the timing couldn’t be worse.

2) Your ole reliable 2008 Nissan Sentra dies on you because of an electrical failure, leaving you scrambling for a vehicle at a moments notice because your company relies on your ability to drive.

And thats how I arrived at my 1999 BMW, which i bought for $750 because I literally had no other options. We had to make a business delivery and needed a car right after the Nissan died on me on the Garden State Parkway. RIP ole friend :'(

The car got the job done, but its half falling apart. Here are a list of parts that need to be fixed/replaced:

1) A pair of front lower control arms. The ball joint on one of them is complete busted and the car creaks and bounces whenever I hit bumps

2) Front windshield is cracked. Two HUGE cracks running from the base to the top, as well as a smaller third one right next to the other two. The entire windshield needs to be replaced at this point.

3) The hood latch is broken, as the hood of the car is tilted and the wire snapped. The front bumper can use a bit of work and the car is missing one of the grills that protects the radiator at the front of the car.

4) Back bumper is totally smashed in. The trunk won’t close because the latch doesn’t align. The bumper is hanging on for dear life and the back left light is smashed in. The light bulb itself semi-works, but the casing needs to be replaced.

5) A pair of rims on the car need to be replaced as they are bent out of shape. I’ll probably need 4 brand new tires soon as well.

6) Whenever the car hits a bump, all 4 windows roll down like 20% of the way. I’m not even sure how to fix this.

7) Speakers don’t work for some reason. Antenna has been ripped out.

8) A plethora of problems that I’m sure I haven’t noticed yet but probably exist. And thats without mentioning the cosmetics of the car. The rust, missing side skirts, needs a paint job, etc.

The money you donate will not only help save my life, it will help me get this business to a point where I can not only take care of myself, but also my future family. I am currently stranded while the car is in the shop, bouncing around friends’ homes with my laptop, trying to keep everything afloat.

It hurts to have to ask for help, but I have helped people throughout my life and will continue to do so in the future. This is has been the most humbling experience of my life, and life has brought me to my knees, but with your help, you can help turn this around and make it a success story.

Thank you so much for you consideration!

-Daniel
