My name is Joseph Del Rio, and I’m reaching out during one of the most challenging moments of my life. I’ve always tried to move forward with resilience, humility, and hard work, but right now I’m facing circumstances that I simply cannot overcome alone. I’m currently navigating financial hardship while managing a disability, working toward stability, and trying to secure safe, peaceful housing so I can continue my education, healing, and creative work.

As someone who has spent years helping others — from managing recovery housing to supporting families and children — asking for help doesn’t come naturally to me. But life has a way of reminding us that none of us are meant to carry everything by ourselves. Your support, whether through donations or simply sharing this page, would make a real and immediate difference in keeping me housed, stable, and able to continue rebuilding my life.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story and for any kindness you’re able to offer. It means more than I can express.
