My name is Josh. I’m a dad, a husband, a brother, and a son.

This world seems to enjoy beating people down, and lately, it’s seemed to really enjoy focusing on my family and I.

one of my children recently tried to take her own life and now is in a mental health rehab facility.

My spouse recently lost her job due to the emotional trauma of watching our daughter almost pass away, and her being in a mental health facility for the next few months.

With me being the only income right now, and with bills on top of rent, I am at the point where I need to choose whether I want to eat and keep my car so I can continue working or pay my rent and keep my wife and kids off the streets or in shelters…..I can’t do both

I have to basically forget there even is a Christmas this year because I can’t afford to even get decorations, let alone gifts for my loved ones.

I don’t want to beg for help. I’ve always been able to handle things on my own, but things have never been this hard before. So this is my very last resort, to beg for help.

Anything at all would be so incredibly appreciated.

I don’t know what else to say or do. I’m just trying to survive 2025 with my family and not be forced to separate from them.
