Help Steven Arnold Overcome Unjust Hardship

For those of you reading this that don't know me personally, my name is Steven Arnold and I'm in a situation where I desperately need some help. I moved to Florida after flooding in Hurricane Ida at the end of 2021 to start a new life for myself. Within a few months of being here, I accepted a position at VPS Airport located @ Eglin Air Force Base in Valparaiso. On May 11th, 2023, I was riding to Walmart with a new tenant/roommate who had just moved into the house I was renting a room in, and I only knew this person for one day. After leaving Walmart, she was pulled over by the police in Niceville, Florida, and I was arrested for a controlled substance that the police found in her car. I knew nothing about what was in her car because I just met this person and never rode with her....I ended up spending 103 days in jail for something that was not mine. Unfortunately I learned what it feels like to be incarcerated and be innocent.

I was not allowed to bond myself out because being from Louisiana, they wanted a cosigner even though I had the money to bond out. I ended up getting evicted, losing a good job and have been fighting this on my own. I have already received help from Catholic Charities, St Vincent de Paul, and local churches. Now, I'm out of resources and I'm struggling to keep a roof over my head and keep my sanity. This is the worst thing I've ever been through in my entire life and for those of you who do know me, you know that I'm a good guy and would do anything to help anyone.

It's so hard for me to ask for help but I don't have a choice because I'm out of resources, and I'm just trying to keep a roof over my head and survive until August 14th when I go back to court and these charges will be dismissed. I also have a medical condition that limits my physical activity so I'm limited in the work I can do and I'm behind on my bills. Any donation to help me with these expenses is greatly appreciated. I've had a few friends help me so far but I'm having to rent a hotel room for $65 a night or be homeless and out in the streets.

I'm on the verge of a mental breakdown but only by the grace of God, I'm still alive and have made it this far. There are no homeless shelters in this area that don't have a waiting list. I've literally tried everything and as a last resort, I decided to start this fundraiser. I hope and pray that this will help me with my monthly expenses until August 14th. Please help me if you can and may God bless you all.
