Emergency Help Needed — Praying for a Way Through

Donation protected
I never thought I’d be here — creating a GoFundMe, asking for help just to survive.

My name is Michael. I’ve worked my whole life. I’ve helped others get promotions, lifted people when they were down, and done all I could to stand strong. But right now, I’m in a battle I can’t face alone.

After being wrongfully terminated and battling serious health issues, I’ve lost my income and been denied SNAP benefits,
unemployment — even after submitting everything they asked for.

I’ve reached out to the system, to my church, to friends… and mostly been met with silence. Except for one generous $50 donation, I’ve received no support. It’s been humbling. It’s been heartbreaking.

The Bible says:
“If your son asks for bread, will you give him a stone?” — Matthew 7:9

I’m not asking for pity. I’m asking for help to make it through — to afford groceries, gas, and basic living costs while I try to rebuild. Even $5 or $10 helps more than you can imagine.

If you believe in second chances… in helping when someone’s invisible… in the power of compassion — I hope you’ll donate or share this page.

Thank you for reading. Thank you for seeing me.

— Michael
