My name is Michael.

Between a few bad decisions and a lot of bad luck, I've had a really rough six months. I'm behind on my mortgage because I wasn't able to find a full-time teaching job for this school year, and I haven't had any luck finding other work outside substitute teaching, which is highly inconsistent work and only barely keeping my head above water at the moment.

I'm not special. I don't really feel like I'm particularly deserving of help. But friends have suggested/requested that I start this GoFundMe in the hopes that I can either keep my home or at least get time to liquidate it.

So I'm asking for help and time to get my life and my mortgage back on track before I lose everything.
