Empower a Father to Secure His Children's Future

Donation protected
I am a father of 7 and have spent the last 10 years heavily involved in community work within the nonprofit sector.

I am trying to reposition myself financially in life to be here for my children's future. Due to financial constraints and changes in life, things have been quite tough like millions of us have experienced. Some could say it's my fault and I could have spent better, or the system we are all a part of has added me as their latest victim. Both could be true at the same time. I am in debt to multiple credit card companies, bank loan, auto loan, mortgage, student loans, etc. Something over 77% of us in the United States experience. If ONLY .00003% of the adult US population donated just $20, the goal could be reached within hours ($20 x 12,500 donors).

The average male in the United States lives until they're about 75 years old. I am 43, so over half of my life has potentially been lived. At the amount of debt I am in, I will die in debt like the majority of Americans and spend most of my projected time left working.

I am reaching out to friends, families, and even strangers to see me through becoming debt-free so I may experience a financial reset, allowing myself to never succumb 100% to financial institutions AGAIN. This is an extremely BOLD request and will most likely get mocked/attacked, I know. Consider this a social experiment. I know the scrutiny I may face will be worth the effort for my kiddos. I don't want to be rich, but I do want to become alleviated of the financial burden I have allowed myself to get into and breath again. Again, if 12,500 people, just .000003% of the entire adult US population, donated $20, I'd reach my family goal very quickly.
