Help Eric Relocate & Live Nearer to his Son

**UPDATE**

Divorce is now in full swing, it turns out,
so instead of getting the mobile home setup,
I must first get a stable residence in Chandler
in order to see my son as much as possible.

I am also currently pursuing several promising 
full-time and part-time job opportunities,
so any assistance will be used to help me
get back on my feet, stay off the street and out of the heat.

Once having a place to stay is no longer a daily issue as it has been,
and since I finally have a new SMI Clinic and Case Manager,
which means I will have access to more affordable housing options,
this fundraiser should be the last time I have to ask others for help.

I am also in the process of applying for SSI assistance, which will be a big help... When it happens.

Sincerely,
Eric

Hi, Everybody! 

:D

 

And, if you are reading this,

Thank You so much

For your time and attention.

This is my first GoFundMe experience,
so please, be gentle.  

:)

My name is Eric Michael Brostrom.

I am a 38 year old Father from Rock Island, IL.

And I truly need some Honest To Goodness Help to get through
and out of these Financial and Personal Crises
that all of us have been stuck in
for far too long.

I feel that it's high time
to make a change

For the Good of All.

Now Who's with me?  

;)

ANY Donation whatsoever would be A Big Help.

MISSION / THESIS STATEMENT:
____________________________________

I drastically need help with Funding to meet certain Basic Needs
during these Global Crises and Personal Crises that we are all facing
at once and which we all should face Together;

Basic Needs such as:

- A roof over my head with AC during this transitional phase as we all try to survive Summertime in The Valley Of The Sun;

- To be located in Chandler near my Doctors and SMI Clinic and, most importantly, where I would have more options to see my Son more consistently;

- So I can have a space where I can do office / contract work and odd jobs to make ends meet while growing my Media Production Company [www.eb83productions.com] while I continue my quest for steady employment / sufficient Income as I transition back into living on my own as a Single Father.

- And, of course, to be in a better position to maintain an even more constant presence in my Son's life by finally being able to establish and maintain a proper and adequate Visitation Schedule.

*Btw, in case you didn't know,
AZ Law requires a Parent with Shared Custody to live within a certain # of miles.

My current Household status
is that I am currently Unemployed and Homeless,
both professionally and personally.

This info is also still currently registered with
The AZ Department of Economic Security (DES).

To elaborate further, for the past 11 + months and counting, I have been out "couch-surfing"
with an assortment of Friends and Family who are all located In the Phoenix-Metro-Area.

You should know that I still have not yet received all 3 of my Stimulus Checks;
Nor have I received my tax return, which is perhaps the biggest reason why I'm here.

**And Please Note:
_______________________

I was a Stay-at-Home Dad
for over 2 years out of 4 so far,
From August of 2018 until September of 2020.

And as such, I am not eligible to collect
Unemployment Insurance (UI) Benefits in AZ for these reasons.
At least, as far as I know from what I've been told by them.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Prior to our Separation, all 3 of us lived in Payson, AZ for around 18 months in 2019-2020.

During this time, we had a different bank than what we'd had in Phoenix.

Plus, we had an outdated address by the time Stimulus Checks #2 and #3 were sent out and when we heard about it later.

Hence, the extra-long delay...  And why I'm writing to you all today.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Finally, it should be duly noted that my 2 primary Fields of Expertise are: 
Private Music Instruction and Public Performance,
and the expansive, ever-changing field of Creative Arts.

In Particular, I specialize as a Sound Technician
and a Board Operator for Live and Studio Audio/Video.
I also do Creative Data Management and most other Media-related duties as well.

What I mean to say is...
nearly all of my current and potential revenue streams
have been pretty well sidelined for most of 2020 and 2021 so far,
and who knows when/if they'll bounce back.

Which means, for me, having to consolidate my sleep/work/living space
into one easy to manage solution until I can eventually upgrade to the next best option.

Of course, I would much rather be living back with my Family, just the 3 of Us...

That was by far the Happiest I've Ever Been...

But, sadly, we don't always get to make those choices for ourselves...

If my Marriage had not imploded against my will, I would NOT be doing this.

So now I have no choice...  but to Change...

Like so many others who have lost loved ones in the past year, it looks like the life that I had has ended.
 
So now, I must find a New Life... and finally take control of it.
