Humberto is a seasoned gig worker from Seattle, deeply rooted in the ride-sharing and delivery economy. His journey through the gig landscape has been one of resilience amidst the challenges of fluctuating income and job security. Facing a significant setback when his car broke down beyond repair—a tool crucial for his livelihood—Humberto found himself at a crossroads. With the costs of replacing his vehicle threatening to consume a substantial portion of his earnings, he embarked on a mission to seek support through fundraising.
This initiative laid the groundwork for Humberto Souza, Inc., a non-profit organization aimed at not only addressing his immediate needs but also offering support to others within the gig economy who face similar predicaments. Humberto's current endeavor is focused on securing a new car to sustain his work in the gig economy, highlighting his commitment to overcoming the challenges posed by this line of work.
