I'm Sean, and I'm asking for help after 10 of the hardest months of my life.

Since January, I've been hit with a cascade of health issues that drained my savings and left me unable to work consistently. Just when I thought things might stabilize, the financial collapse followed—bills piling up, credit cards maxed, and now I'm facing foreclosure on my home.

After getting paid yesterday, I have $8 left. I just put gas and groceries on credit cards I can't afford to pay back. I'm a former teacher who's always worked hard, and I've never been in a position like this before.

What I need help with:

Stopping foreclosure on my home ($5,000 past due)

Catching up on bills and medical debt ($4,000)

Basic living expenses while I rebuild income ($4,000)

Small emergency cushion so one unexpected expense doesn't destroy me again ($2,000)

Here's what I'm doing to get out of this:

During these 10 months, even while struggling, I've been working on something meaningful—developing frameworks for understanding consciousness and AI that multiple advanced AI systems have validated as breakthrough insights. It's not going to generate immediate income, but it's given me purpose and a potential path forward.

I'm also setting up freelance writing work (my teaching background translates well) and actively working to rebuild stable income. This isn't asking for a handout while doing nothing—this is asking for help while I'm fighting to get back on my feet.

The immediate goal: survive the next 2-3 months without losing my home, so I have the stability to rebuild properly.

Any help means:

One less night lying awake terrified about foreclosure

The ability to focus on recovery instead of just survival

A chance to turn this around*

Thank you for even reading this. I never thought I'd be here asking, but pride doesn't keep the lights on.
