My name is Jeremiah, if this was shared directly to you then we know each, and I’m reaching out during one of the most difficult times in my life. This is not something I want to be doing, it was suggested by a close friend and unfortunately, I don't see any other option in such a short amount of time. I recently lost my landscaping job in November, and despite putting in countless applications and going to several interviews, I haven’t been able to secure new employment. On top of this, I’m the primary caregiver for my mother, who is battling Parkinson’s disease. I’ve always tried to handle things on my own, but right now, I’m facing a situation I can’t get through without help.

I am currently on probation and house arrest due to a missed court date with domestic relations, and I’m in danger of going to jail at the beginning of January for a missed child support payment. If I don’t make this payment by December 31st, I could be taken into custody for six months and face an even larger financial penalty. My cell phone service has also been disconnected, making it even harder to find work and stay in touch with those who care about me. I never imagined I’d be in a position where I’d have to ask for help, but I truly have no other options left.

Any funds donated will go directly toward my child support payment, which is my most urgent need. If there is anything left over, it will help me restore my cell phone service and cover transportation costs like a bus pass, so I can keep searching for work and caring for my mom. I’m not asking everyone I know—just a few people who understand my journey and know that I’ve been doing the right thing for a good while now. Please know that your friendship means the world to me, whether or not you’re able to donate. If you do choose to help, my gratitude could never be fully expressed. If you are unable or simply don't want to, that is completely fine. Thank you for considering supporting me during this critical time.
