I’m feeling very hopeful thanks to you. My focus is the same, and I still need your help.

I’ve always tried to support others when they need help. Right now, I’m asking for that same support.

Over the past year, I invested all my short-term and long-term resources into building a business that has not launched fast enough. That, coupled with financial decisions that did not work out the way I intended, has left me with nothing, at a time when I need resources—and time—to earn the credentials the market now demands. If you happen to be hiring, here's my online resume.

I know some people may have opinions about how I got here. Not everyone sees the full context. I can only speak honestly about what I have lived, what I would do differently, and what I am doing now to move forward responsibly.

I am facing the very real possibility of losing my housing, and I do not have another place to go. This fundraiser is short-term support to help me stay housed while I finish the credential path I’m on. Your support will help with housing, utilities, essential services, and basic living expenses.

Last fall, my father passed away, and though he did not leave us money, he did leave me a strong work ethic and a deep sense of integrity. I’m hoping those values, together with your donations and shares, are enough to carry me through this chapter.
