Dear friends, family, and king strangers,

Hi my name is Ethan Alexander Santana, and I am reaching out to you in a time of profound crisis and distress. Recently, my life was turned upside down when I was visiting my father in New Jersey. A relative stole over $7000 from my checking and savings accounts, draining my entire savings. He started draining my account while I was in Florida. I have since learned this relative has a history of doing this to others, but I was unfortunately unaware until it was too late.

The Immediate Need

This theft has left me in a very vulnerable position:

Mental Health & Medical Needs: I am 21 years old and the stress of this situation is taking a severe toll on my mental health. I need medical attention and medication for my anxiety, but I have no medical insurance and cannot afford the out of pocket.

Safe Housing: I am living in Florida, and trying to secure stable housing while managing my mental health. I am required to pay my stepfather $350 per month to stay in the house, but recent events, including an assault by my stepfather which cause me to run from the house, mean I urgently need a safer living arrangement.

Basis Living Expenses: I am working as an Uber driver to try and get by, but I am struggling to cover essential costs like my car insurance, gas, food, doctor visits, which are vital for my income and stability.

My Situation

I feel very alone right now. There are days I feel like giving up. My mother is doing what she can to help me, but she has limited resources.

I am trying my best to get back on my feet, but this setback has made it incredibly difficult. The funds I am hoping to raise will be used specifically for:

How You Can Help

Any help you can provide, monetary or otherwise, would be tremendous relief and help me get my life back on track

Your support would mean the world to me and provide a much-needed lifeline during this difficult time. I am open to any advice or support you are willing to give.

Thanks so much for reading my story and for your consideration.

Sincerely,

Ethan Alexander Santana
