<div><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:1rem;color:inherit;">My name is Prince, and I recently lost someone who meant the world to me, not by birth, but by bond. He was my father in every way that mattered. He called me son, I called him dad, and together, we built something deeper than DNA: we built trust, love, and family.</span>

<div>Why I’m Asking for Help

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>For the last stretch of his life, I was by his side. I was his caregiver, his companion, and his son in spirit. I stepped in to manage the home, the bills, the emotional weight, because that's what love does.

</div>

<div>Now that he’s gone, I find myself navigating two storms: the grief of losing my best friend and father figure… and the very real, very heavy task of trying to stabilize my own life financially.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Your support can help me:

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>. Cover immediate living expenses (utilities, food, transportation)

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>. Handle remaining mortgage responsibilities and estate matters

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>. Invest in my journey back to work and creative purpose

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>. Access grief and mental health support.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I’ve been pouring from an empty cup for a long time. This campaign is my way of saying: I need help refilling it.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Why It Matters

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I didn’t just lose someone, I lost my home base. The one person who always believed in me, who made space for me, who treated me like blood because love told him to.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>He gave me the kind of loyalty and acceptance that I want to carry forward in my own life. But right now, I need a moment to breathe, regroup, and start again with dignity and direction.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><strong>Your donation, no matter how small, is not charity, it’s an act of community, of belief, and of compassion.</strong> If you can’t give, I truly understand. Please consider sharing this with someone who might.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Thank you for seeing me in this moment. And thank you for helping me honor the man who chose to call me son.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>With deep gratitude,

</div>

<div>Prince.
