For those who know me personally, you know I'm a private and proud individual. You've also probably realized that I'm bad at asking for help since I'm used to taking care of things on my own, no matter how dire the situation. But the time has come where I do need help, which is why I'm hoping you can donate or share this cause with your own loved ones, family, and friends.

Four years ago, I was the victim of a hit and run accident that left me on bed rest for months and out of $10K due to medical fees. A lot of you probably aren't even aware of that, but as someone who had to pay himself through college and live off one meal a day for 6 years, I found a way to recoup that money so I can make this transition to the next chapter in my life. Unfortunately, however, I had another accident as a passenger in late August. This time, I lost $15K and have been struggling ever since in terms of my recovery, medical fees, and getting back on my feet. I had to have two emergency surguries and don't anticipate being 100% back to normal for another 3-6 months.

Ironically, I came back home to San Diego last year at the height of the COVID pandemic to take care of family and help out financially. But now I can no longer do that with my savings being depleted. Due to their financial strain, they are unable to help me as well, which is why I'm turning to GoFundMe today to kindly ask for help.

If you are a dear friend of mine who is struggling as well, please do not donate. Depsite the hardship, I know there are a lot of people who are struggling right now and at the end of the day, I am blessed. However, if you can share this post and send it out on your social media platforms, that would be greatly appreciated. I haven't felt or been myself lately, especially since I feel both lost and stuck in an environment that is not healthy for me. Therefore, if I can use these funds to at least help pay for my latest surgeries and future medical bills, I can at least start to build myself back up towards providing for my family once again and looking ahead to better things to come. Thank you all so much!

Best,

Chris
