Helping a Handyman Get Back on His Feet — A Father of 4 in Need

Hello everyone,

My name is Dan (Ilhom), and for the past several years, I proudly served many of you as a handyman through Thumbtack. Fixing doors, repairing homes, and helping make your spaces better was not just my work — it was my passion.

Thanks to your trust, I was able to earn over 400 positive reviews and build a career I was proud of.

Unfortunately, due to a single complaint — despite my long history of excellent service — my Thumbtack account was deactivated. Without it, I lost my main source of income overnight.

As a father of four beautiful children, the responsibility is heavy on my shoulders. Over the last 10 years, I’ve faced continuous financial struggles, and today I am burdened with over $80,000 in debt just trying to keep my family afloat.

I am reaching out not just for myself, but for my kids — for a chance to get back up and rebuild.

If you ever felt that I served you well, or left your home a little better than before, I kindly ask you to consider helping me now when I truly need it most.

Every contribution, no matter how small, will directly go toward stabilizing my family’s situation and giving me a chance to start over.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your time, your trust in the past, and any support you can offer today.

I will never forget it.

—DAN Ilhom
