Larry’s journey is one of resilience and determination. Living on the southside of St. Petersburg, he’s faced more than his share of challenges, from overcoming addiction and heart surgery to losing his apartment, truck, and tools. Despite these setbacks, Larry never gave up. He’s always been willing to work, going door to door offering yard work, repairs, tree trimming, hauling, and painting—anything to get by. I first met Larry when he offered to clean my roof, and over time, I learned just how hard he’s been fighting to rebuild his life.

Last year, Larry landed a job at Home Depot and was excited to be moving forward. Unfortunately, a bout of pneumonia put him in the hospital, and while he was recovering, he lost his job. Since then, he’s been relying on odd jobs and the kindness of friends for a place to stay. Without a truck, it’s nearly impossible for him to carry tools or haul materials, which limits the work he can take on. There’s a pickup truck for sale nearby that would be a game-changer for Larry, giving him the chance to be self-sufficient again and secure more steady work.

Your support will help Larry purchase this truck and take a big step toward stability. Every contribution brings him closer to regaining his independence and finding a permanent place to live. Thank you for helping Larry get back on his feet.
