(My name is Preston Ferrer aka Ferno, and I was given consent by Marco/Yurikov to make this for him)

My name is Marco Malpica, also known as Yurikov, and I’m currently going through an incredibly difficult period in my life.

I recently purchased a home and was excited about a new job opportunity that I believed would provide the financial stability needed to support this next chapter of my life. Unfortunately, that job opportunity fell through, leaving me in a difficult financial position. I’m currently relying on unemployment benefits to keep up with my responsibilities while also struggling with declining mental health.

Between the financial pressure of maintaining a home, covering everyday expenses, and navigating my mental health challenges, things have become increasingly overwhelming.

It isn’t easy for me to ask for help. I had hoped to manage everything on my own, but I’ve reached a point where I recognize that I need some support.

I’m hoping to raise $5,000–$6,000 to help cover essential expenses, including my mortgage, utilities, groceries, and other household bills, while I continue searching for stable employment and focusing on my mental health and recovery to help me manage for at least 2-3 months.

Any donation, no matter how small, would make a meaningful difference. If you’re unable to contribute financially, sharing this fundraiser would also mean a great deal to me.

I’m incredibly grateful to everyone who takes the time to read my story, offers encouragement, or helps in any way.

My goal is simple: to regain financial stability, focus on my well-being, find a new employment opportunity, and get back on my feet.

Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and support during this difficult time.
