My name is Daven H. For many years, I have devoted my life to helping others. I have walked many of my beloved friends and family to their final resting place. This has left its mark upon me, but I have always fought hard to pull myself up. I have succeeded as many times as I have failed.

In the past two years, I have lost everything: my apartment, my car, and my health. I began to pull myself back together; I found a job and have been living on a fold-out bed in a friend's living room. Recently, my employer closed the project that was literally keeping me alive and fed. They did provide another project with decreased pay, and reluctantly, I took it. "A man's got to eat," right?

I have been trying to move into my own place after my wife passed away, to rebuild my life. I thought I had finally made it when the project ended. I filed for temporary unemployment. I had completed all the steps needed, but on the day I was to be paid, they denied my claim. I am now unable to pay off my bills, my storage, or even move. I have tried everything to keep going, but I will not be able to get any funds for another four weeks. So I am asking for help to pay off this debt and assistance to move into my own apartment, so that I can rebuild my life.

When my wife died, I promised her that I would keep fighting and go on living my life. Though each step forward keeps pushing me back even more. If you can find it in your hearts and can spare it, please can you help?
