My name is Joshua, and I’m a second-year union plumbing apprentice working hard to get back on stable ground. Recently, I was offered a job opportunity that will put me closer to consistent work, but I’m currently in a tough spot with housing. I need help covering a rental security deposit and first month’s rent so I can secure a place and take this next step toward stability.

I’m in recovery and actively working on getting my life back on track, including building better habits and staying focused on my work. This opportunity for stable housing and steady employment is a big part of that process. I’m doing everything I can—working, budgeting, and making better decisions—but I’ve hit a short-term gap that I can’t quite bridge alone.

Any support helps, whether it’s a donation or simply sharing my story. Your kindness will help me move forward, get settled, and continue building something solid for the future. Thank you for taking the time to read this and for considering a helping hand.
