Hi, my name is Mike, and I’m asking for help during an unexpected and incredibly difficult transition. I am being forced to leave my home with very little notice and without access to resources I had relied on for stability. This has happened suddenly, during the holidays, and has left me scrambling to secure safety, transportation, and basic stability at once.

I have already taken responsible steps forward: I’ve secured new housing, I am actively rebuilding and reorganizing my life, and I am doing everything I can to stay grounded and independent. What I need help with now is bridging the gap so I can stand on my own feet again. My car currently needs repairs in order for me to safely commute, attend appointments, handle logistics related to my move, and maintain work and income opportunities. Without reliable transportation, this transition becomes much harder and more fragile.

I’m not asking for a handout—I’m asking for a hand up during a moment of sudden displacement and instability. Any funds raised will go directly toward car repairs and transportation costs, moving-related and basic living expenses, and stabilizing costs during this short transition period. I am a hard-working, creative, and resilient person who has spent years building a life, helping others, and contributing meaningfully to my community. This moment does not define me—but it has temporarily knocked me off balance. If you are able to donate, share, or even send encouragement, please know that it truly matters. Your support will help me regain stability, safety, and peace of mind during a time when I need it most. Thank you for reading, caring, and helping me take the next step forward. With gratitude, Mike
