Hi, my name is Paul and I am raising funds for myself. I have pretty much exhausted all of my funds just trying to stay afloat since I lost my career back in 2019. A good chunk of this money, unfortunately, was lost to a scam, which only served to increase my heavy debt load. I am grateful that my parents took me in and I have been in the unfortunate position of having to rely on them for help in paying my bills as well as getting necessary medications, food, etc. for the past few months. This is obviously not sustainable. I am, finally, after dealing with a heavy depression that kept me from really looking for a job, ready to do so, only to find that I need to replace my car battery, among other things. I had to contact AAA twice within one week for a jump start. I really don't know how much the car needs in terms of repairs as the brakes need some level of repair as well. In addition, it is becoming increasingly clear that I need to get my eyes examined and likely get new glasses, which will not be an inexpensive proposition. I wouldn't object to spending money just to be able to get the basics, including my prescriptions. Those of you who know me know that I do not ask for help easily; historically, I've been the one to help others before even thinking of myself. Anything you can give will be forever appreciated. I just need a little help to get going again. Thank you in advance, from the bottom of my heart.
