*update 3/8/26: I made a really big push and can say I have officially paid off my main debt. What is left is the personal loan I own my friend, which I explain further below. I hope you all are able to help out a little bit. I very much want out of my situation before the holidays. Thank you again.

I'm reaching out because I'm currently in a difficult living situation and need help to get out. Over time, debt has built up and it's made it hard for me to move forward and find a safe, stable place to live. I have come a long way and am very close to paying everything off but my circumstances have changed quickly and I need to act sooner than I thought.

The funds raised will go directly towards paying off my debt (mainly to the debt I owe to a close friend of mine that helped me through my worst times) my other debts will be taken care of by me. It doesn't feel right to move to quickly to get out now and prolong not being able to pay them back. But I'm also faced with the fact I need to get out quicker than expected. This support will give me the chance to pay my close friend back, who has been extremely patient and has never once asked me to pay them back. I would like to move into my new life with zero debts to anyone. Granted with this help I will owe you all the biggest debt of my life, with a promise to never find myself in this situation again. I hope I can deliver.

I need to make sure I can get away and stay away for good but it will take time and work to make it happen.

I know that times are tough for everyone, and asking for help isn't easy, and embarrassing but your support would mean the world to me.

I'm grateful for any support you can give—whether it's a donation or simply sharing my story. Thank you so much for considering helping me during this challenging time.

My hope is to be able to be debt free and to move through life only using the means I have. To be able to stand on my own. To be someone people can lean on when times are tough. To be free of the bad living situation I was born into. To be safe. To finally have a place I can call home.
