Hello, my name is Ernie Moreno, and I will be 56 years old this year. I was born in Tampa, FL. This has to be the most humbling and embarrassing thing I have done in my life because, as a man, "we should not ask for help." But as I have gotten older and wiser, I realize that if you humble yourself, it helps your soul and makes your life better.

Anyway, I am asking for some help. I lost my job and was displaced from my home after the hurricanes last September, and I have been having a hard time finding a full-time job and locking down a permanent place to live. About a month ago, the mother of my daughter and one-day wife had a little bit more than $3,500 stolen from her CashApp account by a so-called "friend." That was pretty much our life savings and our move-in funds for a permanent place. CashApp won't do anything until the FBI and HCSO are done with the case, so in the meantime, it has been a struggle.

The good thing is I started working, but I won't get paid until next Wednesday. However, I am short on the funds to pay for the hotel we have been staying at. I'm paid up till today thanks to a long-time friend who looked out for me today. THANK YOU, M.R. But we don't have enough to get us by until Wednesday. We will be homeless with no place to go, and that scares me to death, not so much for me but for her. I'm the one to take care of her and provide, and I feel like I let her down. I've never been in a spot where I am going to be without a safe place.

So, I'm asking, please, if anyone can help us, I'm begging you from the bottom of my heart. Thank you, and God Bless.
