As some of you may know, Uproxx's own Brian Grubb -- the artist formerly known as "Danger Guerrero" -- is confined to a wheelchair and only has use of one arm due to a spinal injury he suffered in college. Well, Brian recently completed a driving course in which he learned how to drive a specialized/adapted van with one hand, and his brother recently launched a Go Fund Me campaign to raise money to help purchase a van for him. This is where you come in! If you can spare a few bucks this holiday season, it's be great if you can toss some money to the "A Van for Brian" campaign. Vin Diesel would want you to do it. You can donate here.
Anyway, below are some things we made for you that we didn't want you to miss. Oh, and here's a song of the day for you: "Take Me With U" by Prince
