A couple in Compton is going the extra mile to help residents by fixing potholes across the city, all on their own.
Alex and Daisy De La Rosa live and work as couriers in the city – Daisy drives and Alex makes the deliveries. After several flat tires, suspension problems, and a few arguments, the couple decided to do something about all the pesky potholes.
“He first started off within our block in front of our home and we’ve seen that it got better,” said Daisy. “So he’s all like, ‘Let’s do it.’ I’m like, ‘But we don’t have that much money.’ He’s like ‘It doesn’t matter. One pothole at a time.'”
The couple filled their first pothole a few days ago and has since filled nearly a dozen. Their selfless work has been receiving a lot of attention on social media.
Daisy said people have been making requests for the couple to fix potholes on their streets and have even donated about $200 to their cause so far.
“I’m tired,” said Alex when asked why he’s doing the work. “I already changed two sets of tires. My suspension got broken, so I’m tired.”
