Hello Friends,

The past six months or so have been incredibly difficult for me. I’ve been dealing with deep grief after losing my dad, car troubles that left me without transportation for months, and the overwhelming challenge of trying to stay afloat while focusing on my mental health and doing my best at work to get a paycheck.

I had to take time off to attend my dad’s funeral and to take care of myself mentally and emotionally. I have been hospitalized twice since January for various reasons. That time away from work, combined with the cost of Ubers to get to work and appointments, bills piling up, and my car still being out of commission, has left me in a really tough financial situation.

I’m humbly asking for help — whether it’s a donation, sharing this message, or just keeping me in your thoughts.

Anything you can give will go directly toward:

• Getting a car so I can get to work reliably to perform my job role

• Covering basic bills (lights, water, and gas) and all necessities needed

• Buying groceries

• Supporting my ongoing mental health journey with having the money to purchase my medication

This is NOT at all easy for me to post or ask. It’s actually embarrassing and vulnerable, but I’m doing it because I truly want to get back to being the person I used to be: strong, outgoing, and full of hope, believing in myself and others.

I believe with a little support, I can get there.

No donation is too small, and every bit is appreciated more than I can say. If you can’t give, please consider sharing this message with others.

Your kindness can make a real difference in helping someone like me get back on their feet. It’s truly time to get back on my feet and give everyone my best.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

With gratitude,

Timothy Wayne
