Hello, my name is Nick, and I’m reaching out for help to keep my family and pets safe during a really tough time.A few months ago, my bank account was unexpectedly garnished for over $1,000 due to a child support case for a child that isn’t mine. With no warning, this drained my savings and threw my finances into chaos. Now, I’m two months behind on rent, owe about $1,300 to avoid eviction, and my electricity has been shut off twice in the past couple of months. The weather’s getting cold, and my bearded dragon can’t survive without proper heat. I’m also caring for my daughter and my cat, Raiden, who depend on me to keep our home stable.I’m doing everything I can to catch up, but it’s been nearly impossible after the garnishment. I work hard, but every paycheck goes to bare essentials, and I’m constantly playing catch-up. Without help, I’m at risk of losing our home, and I have nowhere else to go. My daughter, my lizard, and Raiden are my world, and I’m fighting to keep them safe and warm.I’m humbly asking for $1,300 to cover two months of rent and get my electricity stable so my bearded dragon doesn’t suffer in the cold. This would give me the breathing room to get back on my feet and fight the garnishment. Every dollar helps—whether it’s $5 for cat food, $10 for groceries, or more to chip away at rent. If you can’t donate, sharing this campaign with friends would mean so much.Thank you for reading my story and for any support you can offer. It’s hard to ask for help, but I’m doing this for my daughter, Raiden, and my bearded dragon. Your kindness will make a huge difference, and I promise to pay it forward when I’m back on track.With all my gratitude,

Nick
