My name is Nate, and I am reaching out during one of the most difficult times of my life. At 29 years old, I have already lost my mother, grandparents, uncles, and cousins—all of whom are buried together in Thacker Memorial Cemetery on Pompey Hill Road. The family home that once held our memories has been destroyed, and what remains of our belongings is still there, left vulnerable after the property was ransacked. I feel like an outcast in my own community, unable to find help or support where I am.

On top of this, I am a father of three beautiful children who have been taken from me, and I don’t get to see them. The pain of being separated from my kids, combined with the overwhelming loss of my family and home, has left me struggling to find hope. I have worked as a chef for the past five years, but I recently lost my job, making it even harder to change my situation. Despite everything, I am determined to rebuild my life and create a safe, loving home for my children.

The funds raised will help me restore my family’s property, including the mobile homes and the house my grandfather built, and protect the resting place of my loved ones. They will also allow me to hire legal support so I can fight to see my children again and cover the costs of moving back home. I am truly grateful for any support, love, or prayers you can offer. If you choose to help, you are giving me a chance to find purpose again, to be closer to God, and to reunite with my children. Thank you for believing in me and for being part of my journey toward healing and hope.
