Hey everyone,

My name is Ian, a lot of people know me as or call me Stretch. 3 years ago I made the decision to quit my job to pursue a career in social media and being self-employed. For the first few years it went really well even though their were many weeks I worked 50-60hrs compared to the standard 40hr work week. I managed to make enough money to pay my bills and live comfortably. Lately, the work available has dropped considerably despite it normally being a busy season for me. I would not consider myself to be someone who asks others for aid or assistance. I feel like asking for help is burdening others but a good friend told me that without asking you will never know. Times have become dire and bills are piling up. I do not have any savings. My credit card is maxed out. I have begin to wonder where I or my cats would live or how we would live if I lost our home. Never have I felt like I could become homeless as an adult (was homeless as a teen for a bit) and lately it's been on my mind nearly everyday. I honestly could live on the streets myself. No one would want to. But my fur babies. They are my main reasons to keep pushing and trying!

This money would go directly towards my past due rent, utilities, phone bill, cat food, litter, and credit card. I do plan on closing my credit card account entirely when its paid off. They've never worked for me. This amount of money could genuinely save me for another 3 months! If you cannot help financially I completely understand and no worries even simply liking, commenting, or sharing the fund would get the word out and be so supportive. If you have any questions or would like more details from me just ask. I want to be as transparent with all details and information possible. Thank you again for reading and taking the time today. I appreciate it so very much.
