Hey there! I’m Cole Brenkman. At the end of July, I lost my job and have been experiencing some health issues, which has made life a living hell for me. I was jobless for a month and have sold essentially everything I had to cover what little savings I had. I’m still underwater with looming medical bills, debt racking up, and a full-time job that isn’t making nearly enough to help me get caught up like I hoped it would.

As I transition into a new moment of life with my job and finding new ways to make ends meet, my finances have been ruined and I’m asking for help. The total I’m aiming to make is $4000, which will help me catch up on my bills, my child support that got backlogged while I was job hunting for a month and change, and with upcoming medical expenses that are going to be substantial.

Times are hard for a lot of us right now, and I want to ensure that I don’t take more than I need. Once all of my finances are paid for and caught up, any extra donations will be donated to helping victims of domestic abuse find housing and get the resources necessary to start anew. This will be done via multiple organizations.

Thank you for reading and helping in this difficult moment I find myself in.
