A Father’s Journey Through Unimaginable Hardship – Please Help Me Regain a Home.
Hello, my name is Shane, and I’m reaching out for help during the most challenging chapter of my life. I’m a father to two wonderful children who mean everything to me, and I’m doing all I can to rebuild my life so I can be the father they need and deserve.
Slightly over a year ago, my world changed when I experienced a traumatic brain injury, leading to emergency surgery that left both physical and emotional scars. Since then, I’ve worked hard to overcome these obstacles, but the journey has been a difficult one.
While fighting to regain my strength, I shared my challenges with my employer, determined to keep supporting my family. However, despite my commitment, I lost my job simply due to my disability, stripping away not only my income but also the security i depended on. This loss has left me without a home, and as winter approaches, I face the painful reality of being without a safe place to stay.
Every night, my thoughts are consumed with one goal: reuniting with my children in a warm, stable home where they can feel my love and care. As a father, it’s devastating to be unable to provide a home to them to come to. I am reaching out in hopes of finding support from kindhearted individuals who can help me get back on my feet.
Any donations will go directly toward securing a new home and covering essential costs, including deposits, monthly bills, and basic living expenses. Support will also help me manage medical needs I house and replace essentials that were lost along the way of me losing my home. Ultimately, I’m working to create a stable environment where I can be there for my children, showing them the love and security that every child should have from their father.
Thank you for taking the time to read my story and for any support you can offer. I hold onto hope that, with your help, I will soon have a safe place to call home and the chance to be the father my children need and deserve.
God bless, and thank you for being a part of my journey.
