According to his GoFundMe page, Davis’ current van is broken beyond repair, and he needs a new one.

The friend recording the video is heard behind the camera yelling at Davis to get to safety by saying, “Back up Terry! Put it in reverse, Terry!”
The original video has about 15 million views on YouTube. However, a friend of Davis is claiming he never made any money off the video despite his name and likeness being used repeatedly. She claims that is why he needs help paying for a new van.
Davis has been in a wheelchair for over 15 years after suffering a spinal injury.
