Hello! I’m not the type to ask for help. I am in the middle of changing employment to keep my mental health healthy. I have 4 children who love their time with their dad. Until I switched employment to relieve stress and be a better person and father, I did not need help. I had to go a whole month without income and months before struggling to make ends meet. I can barely afford lunch and dinner for them on the weekends while starving myself to make it to work. I know if I keep driving forward, things will level out and I can take care of it! Recently, I had someone take full advantage of me and generate an electric bill close to $800 at this point; someone I thought was a friend and who had died of natural causes days after not being allowed to live with me to help. It’s been a roller coaster of emotion during my most busy time where I volunteer to help coach elementary wrestling. I miss more than I’d like to just to stay even. I’ve made decisions that I don’t want to make for them because of the financial burden. Anything can help. I like to help people when I can and it’s a blessing and also recently become a burden. I’m ashamed for asking for any help! I just don’t know what else to do.

all goes to bills and keeping a roof and food available to my children along with a warm place to eat it.
