Hello you guys, well this is me (Michael) and my daughter Nozomi, which means hope in Japanese. She does have autism and is non-verbal. Me and her mom have raised her separately since she was 2, 50/50. Around mid last year, I had gotten let go from my job of 5 years. I was out of work for about 3 months doing DoorDash and Instacart in-between this time till I found a part-time job at Amazon and a restaurant. Right before I got fired from my job of 5 years, her mom had put me on child support. The child support is based on what I made the year she filed, and it happened to be the most I've ever made in a year. Her mother told me it was a mistake and she never filed for child support and that she would tell them that (she had gone to jail for 4 months and supposedly when she was released, they put her on cash aid which caused the child support to happen. I was left with full responsibility of my daughter those 4 months, which was hard but I loved it at the same time). So I let it be and trusted her to take care of that. Soon after, I had gotten an email saying I was going to be having funds garnished from my wages for child support. So I'm only making about 800-900 dollars every 2 weeks from my part-time job at the restaurant, and Amazon just let all of us seasonal associates go. I work as much as I can every single day doing DoorDash, Instacart, and the restaurant. From that 800-900 every 2 weeks, her mom gets 450 of that, taxes take about 200, and I'm left with the rest. I have rent, a car note, phone bill, food, gas, etc. I feel so constricted at this time in my life. I need to file these papers to the courts to have the child support to a correct amount but it's taking ages. My life feels so constricted but I still have my daughter Thursday to Sunday (was Wednesday to Sunday till last year but my story is already long) every week. I love taking her to the park or Chuck E. Cheese or places she can be free and have experiences. I wanted to get her into a sport this year but having to work all day every day just to come up short and have bills late and owe people is affecting me and in turn affecting her and the time I have with her. I wish I could handle this on my own but at this time I can't breathe. The financial weight and the thoughts of my daughter only getting older is crushing. Her mom is always busy or working so she can't take her to her therapies or do activities only I could. Time doesn't wait for anyone and I feel it but more than money, I need direction. I would like to be able to get my barber's license during this time also. But again, time and money is hot on my tail. So this donation would benefit mine and Nozomi's future and give me just enough breathing room to get through this tough time. Anything is appreciated. Thank you for your time if you have read this.
