My name is Jaiden, and I'm a father of two young kids, ages 1 and 4. For the past two years, I've been doing everything I can to find steady work here in Greeley. Every day, I put in job applications, follow up with calls, and attend job fairs and events, but I keep hearing that positions are filled or not available. Even when I ask for leads, I’m sent away with no answers. I managed to get a seasonal job at UPS, but it only gave me a couple of hours every two weeks—nowhere near enough to support my family.

Because of this, I lost my home and my ability to pay for essentials like rent and internet, which I needed for my Twitch streaming and tournaments. Now, my wife, our two kids, and I are without a place to stay. I’m searching for a shelter, but the waiting lists are long, and I want to keep my kids safe and give them a sense of stability. They don’t deserve to know what it’s like to have nowhere to go.

The funds from this fundraiser will help us stay in a hotel so my kids have a safe place to sleep and eat. It will also help cover food, clothes, and laundry services while I keep searching for work and resources. Any help is appreciated—whether it’s work, labor, or even a small donation. Thank you for considering helping my family. I really don’t want to ask, but I have no choice right now.
