Hi, my name is Dresden and I have three sons who all live at home here with me. We’ve been through quite a difficult three years and it seems like every year it just gets worse. I am blessed in that my children are healthy and do really well in all the things that they’re supposed to do.

My unemployment claim has not been approved yet, so I’ve gone now since April with no income. I thank God every day for the support I’ve gained from my family; without them, I would be homeless. I try to entertain Mitchell as best I can with what we’ve got handy, but nothing’s really working, and the pool is dead. That’s just not something that’s gonna happen, so I’m seeking help to get some bills caught up. Maybe, hopefully, we can use a little bit of money to go up to the beach for a day or something. I am behind on my mortgage, and I am trying to ensure that it stays at a level that does not put me into default. However, that is a possibility. Still cannot believe I’m doing this, but please know I will pay all of you back, and please also understand I wouldn’t do this unless I absolutely had no other options.

My little guy, Mitchell, is struggling very much. He has been desperate for Mom to fix the pool. I have tried everything; I have done everything, and I’ll tell you, I have not been able to become successful at this pool. I have officially killed two motors, and apparently, they were motors that were too small anyway. It’s birthday month for many of us. I just want to take the boys to the pool. I wanna go to the beach with them one or two days. I’ve been looking for a new job. If anyone has any leads, please send them my way. I am so excited to get back into the job market. I would never do this unless I was feeling like there was absolutely no other option. I absolutely plan on paying everybody back any amount that they’re willing to part with today. Sincerely, thank you for paying any attention to my little problem… My struggles have been dwarfed by larger ones.
