Help Alan Stay Housed and Stable Through August

Story

Alan is a talented visual storyteller and a devoted father who has always worked hard to provide for his family. Recently, he’s faced a tough season of work instability after losing his main client due to new tariffs. As businesses cut back on marketing and creative services, Alan’s opportunities have dwindled, making it difficult to secure steady work. Despite his best efforts, including applying for social benefits and negotiating with his landlord and creditors, Alan has fallen behind on rent and is struggling to cover basic needs like groceries, phone, and internet. This instability puts his housing at risk and threatens his ability to maintain custody of his children, who mean everything to him. Alan’s kids adore him, and he’s always been generous with his time and attention, giving them the encouragement and love they need to thrive. Stable housing is crucial for Alan to continue being the supportive parent his children rely on. With the help of close friends, he’s managed to get through the immediate weekend, but the coming months remain uncertain. Your support will help Alan cover rent for June, July, and August, as well as essential household needs, so he can stay connected, continue his job search, and keep his family together. Alan is known for his sharp mind and exemplary character. He’s doing everything possible to get back on his feet, and your contribution will make a real difference in helping him and his kids weather this difficult transition. Every donation brings Alan closer to stability and gives his children the chance to keep their dad in their lives.
