<div>My name is Shawn, and I am reaching out for help after losing my wife Danielle in a tragic car accident caused by a drunk driver.

<div>Danielle was everything to me—my wife, my friend, my partner, my caretaker, and my shoulder to lean on. In a blink of an eye, she was taken from me, and the pain of her loss is deeper than words can express. We had so many plans and dreams together, and now I am left to navigate life without her, missing her every moment and cherishing the memories we shared.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Danielle was our sole provider, and her passing has left me struggling to cover basic expenses. I am out of work due to health complications from diabetes, and I have lost nearly everything that mattered to me—my son, my pets, my family, my driver’s license, and our only vehicle. And now living in a remote area, without a vehicle, makes it impossible to access groceries, medical care, or even look for work.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I have tried to fight for my son in court, but it is an uphill battle without the resources to get legal help. The isolation and loss and severe depression from it, has been overwhelming to say the least, and I have no relatives, or living family to turn to for support.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I am now vigorously seeking work and have overwhelmingly extensive IT, tech, AI, and Project Management skills and experience at many Fortune 500 companies, including: Walt Disney Imagineering, Disney Parks and Resorts, Corporate Disney, Universal Orlando (20 years), AAA Motor Club National Headquarters, Aetna, The Hartford, etc. If you know of any job opportunities, please reach out.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The funds raised will help me cover rent, utilities, food, funeral and travel expenses, and other essential costs while I try to recover and rebuild my life. They will also help me seek legal assistance and transportation, so I can work towards regaining stability and reconnecting with my son.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Any help you can offer would mean the world to me right now. I am deeply grateful for any support, whether it’s financial, emotional, or simply sharing my story.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Please cherish your loved ones and hold them close, because life can change in an instant. Danielle, I love you and miss you every day.

</div>
<div><strong>Please note:</strong> GoFundMe asked what amount did I wish to raise. I was very uncomfortable about this because I had no idea what I should put down. The last thing I wanted to appear like is greedy, and certainly not unappreciative. GoFundMe had a suggested amount they recommended from other similar situations, so I went with what they suggested. But please, please know that ANY amount is appreciated, and every penny is valuable because the needs are real and the situation urgent. I am deeply grateful to any and all help, and will forever be in your debt.
