***UPDATED***

Hi, my name is Scot and I am fundraising as a very last resort. The last 7 months have been the worst of my life. I lost my Mom unexpectedly in December. The day after her funeral I had a small stroke- I’m guessing as a result of the stress? I had to pay $7000 out of my pocket to pay for her funeral, as there was no insurance. But that is my responsibility as her son so of course I took care of this.

While I was recovering from that, I lost my best friend of the last 25 years to lung cancer. He was so full of life- it’s not fair. F**k cancer!

while all this was happening, I have also been in the process of closing my company that I have had since 2006. It’s time for that, as it has been losing money for a long time. So, I have been driving Uber and Lyft to make ends meet as a result. Then in June my car broke down, and I had to spend about $5000 to get that fixed. Because of this perfect storm, I got so far behind on utilities, my rent was consistently late for a few months. I have been working my arse off driving as many hours as possible, but it has been so hard to catch up completely to square.

I wish I was making this up- it sounds like a terrible country song. But I just need a little help to get me back to center. I am asking for $2500, to catch my rent up.  This would help TREMENDOUSLY to get caught up. Then I can start focusing on my IT certification, so I can begin the next chapter of my life.

I don’t smoke, drink or do drugs.

I am just praying to God that someone can help out right now.

Thank you for anything you can do, and God Bless you.
