Salutations GoFunders,

My name is Preston and I am currently stuck in Ontario, California, but I'm from New Jersey. I'm a traveling chef by trade who made his way to Arizona. Long story short, I ended up getting a job as an exotic animal handler and began traveling with the company, working in different locations. They basically abandoned me and several others, but those guys were from Mexico and just went home. As of late, I have fallen into hard times...

I am a father of a beautiful and very intelligent 5-year-old boy. I named my son Leonidas. He is the reason I continue to fight the fight. I want to give him some type of life I never had; however, I keep getting taken advantage of for my skills. They use me up then leave me hanging. I have to get things in order to see my son again... it's been almost 2 years now.

As you can see, I have no place to return to. I started working for this company 3 days after my lease was up, and I was scheduled to travel until October with the crew. So here I am, stuck in a place I'm unfamiliar with, no resources, and I'm running out of funds.

However, I've been looking for a temporary job and have applied to several places, but I need YOUR HELP to remain afloat so I can get funds together and head on my way. If ANYONE has a spare room to lend me for about a month, I would be forever grateful! Maybe point me to a place I can get a job immediately!? I work hard and have endless experience. I'm willing to do anything for anyone who can lend aid. My ultimate goal is to be with my son again. Stay blessed y'all...

Before I go...

I honestly don't expect anyone to see this at all. I don't think anyone will care to help with the way our country is. Maybe this will surprise me. God Bless.
