Hello, my name is Brandon Varley. I have fallen on hard times by taking a chance to redirect my life. I moved to New York City last January to pursue a new path in my life and my career, but the job fell through and the cost of living has skyrocketed.

For the first time in my life, I have found myself living in a homeless shelter with very little prospect, and the hole keeps getting deeper. I’m not the type to ask for help, but this is the last effort to try to correct course. Anything helps and I don’t know where else to turn. Thank you for taking the time to read this, and I know that it’s very hard for many people out there, but I feel like all of my options are depleting.
