A Compton couple working as independent couriers were fed up with city potholes sending them to the mechanic and tire store, so they started fixing the cratered streets on their own, and community support is pouring in.

Daisy De La Rosa, born and raised in Compton, and her husband Alex told The Epoch Times that after replacing multiple tires and suspensions in their work truck they were desperate for a solution. She said sometimes arguments broke out as they struggled to afford the repairs, so they decided on a whim to do the job themselves.
