Help Me Stay Clean, Rebuild My Life & Be the Dad My Daughter Deserves

Hi, my name is Mathew Milligan.

I’ve worked hard to rebuild my life — I’m clean and living in an Oxford House, and I’m preparing to start HVAC training to build a stable future. After years of struggle, I finally have hope… but right now, I’m hitting a wall.

I’m behind on rent. I don’t have a car. I’ve been applying for jobs every day, doing everything right, but things aren’t moving fast enough. If I don’t get help soon, I could lose my place in the Oxford House — the very home that’s helped me stay clean and focused.

I also need a car — not just to get to work or school, but because my daughter lives 2½ hours away. I’m missing her life, and I’m fighting every day to be present for her. Without a car, I can't be the father she needs and deserves.

I miss her deeply. Every father belongs in their daughter's life — and I won’t stop until I’m there for her the way she deserves.

Why I’m Asking for Help:

I’m staying clean and doing the work every day

I’m enrolled in HVAC school to build real income

I’m applying for jobs and walking to every opportunity I can find

I need a car to see my daughter and create stability

I just need a bridge to stay housed and keep moving forward

Even $5 helps — toward rent, transportation, or eventually getting a car so I can show up for my daughter and my future.
