A Lifeline for Michael & His Family

Donation protected
Hello, my name is Michael , and I’m humbly asking for your help as my family and I navigate through an incredibly challenging time. 

 I am currently unemployed due to a lack of work opportunities in my field, and we are struggling to make ends meet. We’re facing mounting financial pressures, including rent, utilities, and lawyer fees for an ongoing custody battle that I’m fighting to secure stability for my family. I have had to close out my 401k to help pay my expenses. I am crushed that I had to go to these extremes. 

Update on things. 
At this time I would like to thank all of you for go have taken the time to read my story and thank you to all who have either donated and supported me in these trying times. Employment will be coming soon but in the meantime I will not be receiving and kind of income until January 24. The struggle and stress is real.

For years, I was the primary caregiver for my beloved mother as she bravely fought cancer and dementia. We lost her to dementia in November 2022. While I wouldn’t trade those years for anything, they deeply impacted my family emotionally and financially. The toll of caregiving contributed to significant stress on my family and marriage, and I am now trying to rebuild from the ground up. 

I am seeking to raise at least $10,000 to help cover: 
 
• Overdue rent and utilities to ensure my family has a safe and stable place to live 

 • Legal fees to continue fighting for custody and securing my childs future 

 • Basic necessities as I work tirelessly to find stable employment and recover from this crisis 

My ultimate goal is to regain financial independence, provide a safe and loving home for my family, and rebuild the life we deserve. 

Every donation, no matter the amount, will bring us one step closer to stability. If you are unable to contribute, I would deeply appreciate it if you could share this fundraiser with your network. 

Your support, kindness, and prayers mean the world to us. Thank you for taking the time to read our story and for any help you can offer.  

Sincerely, 

Michael Hughes


I am asking you for any assistance possible to help me get out of this hole. I would appreciate any help that you can give.
