**Update** Thanks everyone so far who donated. My first goal was reached in only 8 days!  

My name is David Perez and I am a disabled combat veteran that served in OIF. 

While traveling for work on July 15th, I totaled my jeep, and it has left me feeling pretty hopeless.

I travel for my piece-meal contract work, and had my Jeep for 10 months. The bank payment I need it to make is roughly 15,000 and USAA is only paying out the worth of the vehicle, which is 11k. This is what's breaking me currently.

I am in the process of opening a homeless Veteran housing program and all my capital is tanked into this and other projects.

Right now, I've got too many plates in the air to clear this out on my own steam, and I need my community to help me on this one.

Anything you can do to help me pay off the approximately $4000 the bank wants for the remainder of my loan. 

If I can pay off the bank, I can be done with this rental car, and have a vehicle again for this next deployment. I can also salvage my credit that is being worked on.

It's a gut punch to lose the first car I've had since 2017 especially when the bank requires more money than what I paid for it.

Thanks so much for your consideration, whereas I know this is a rough time for many.
