My name is Arthur, and I’m starting over after being released from prison. I’ve made the decision to transition into sobriety, and I’m seven days sober from fentanyl and cocaine. I’m tired of losing, tired of the cycle, and I’m finally ready to try something different and build a new life for myself.

I heard about GoFundMe through friends who encouraged me to reach out for support. Right now, I need help with the basics—things like a vehicle, a safe place to live, food, water, gas, and a phone. These essentials will help me stay away from people who are using and give me the foundation I need to start fresh. I want to do things differently this time, and having these resources will make all the difference as I work to stay sober and rebuild my life.

Your support would mean the world to me. I would love for you to take this journey with me as I work to turn my life around. Every bit of help brings me closer to a new beginning, and I’m grateful for anyone willing to stand by my side as I finally start winning. I want everyone to know that Jesus is walking with me on this journey, giving me strength and hope each day. I also hope to be a positive influence for kids on the street, showing them that being sober, responsible, and a good person in the community is something to be proud of. I want to show them what I missed out on, and help them see that a better life is possible.
