My Name Is Willie Rimpson, And I’m A Delivery Driver Working Here In Kansas City. At 33, My Car Isn't Just A Vehicle—it Is My Entire Livelihood. It's How I Pay The Bills And Keep Food On The Table For My Family On Myrtle Ave. But Two Nights Ago, My Life Was Thrown Into A Tailspin. 

While Finishing My Last Delivery Shift, An Uninsured Driver Blew Through A Red Light, Smashed Into My Rear Axle, And Sped Off. Thankfully, I Walked Away With Only Minor Bruises, But My Car Was Completely Totaled. Because It Was A Hit-and-run With An Uninsured Driver, My Basic Insurance Liability Coverage Is Refusing To Pay Out For A Replacement Or Immediate Repairs. 

The Crisis: 

I Am Completely Stranded. Without A Vehicle, I Have Zero Income Starting Today. The Rental Car Costs Are Too High, And The Mechanic Estimates The Frame Repair And Axle Replacement At $5,200. I Don't Have That Sitting In Savings, And The Bills Don't Stop Just Because I Was Hit. 

I Need To Raise $5,200 To Get My Car Out Of The Shop And Get Back On The Road To Earn A Living. I’m Not Looking For A Handout, Just A ‘hand Up’ From My Kc Community To Help Me Fix My Tool Of Trade So I Can Work Again. Every Dollar Or Share Gets Me Back Behind The Wheel. Thank You For Your Kindness.
