I have and have been in and out of treatment for chronic depression my entire life. I was recently kicked out of the last place I lived for not having enough money to pay rent. All of this has happened numerous times during my time on earth. By the time I turned 19, I had lived in 17 different places. I really believed that I would grow out of this. But I continue to struggle. I'm a 64-year-old Veteran and lost my Mom a few weeks ago. Honestly, friend, I am exhausted. It's been incredibly difficult to find the will to keep going, but I'm doing my best to move forward each day.

Right now, I need help with housing. I've been selling blood just to afford food and gas, and every day is a challenge to meet even the most basic needs. Your support would go directly toward securing a safe place to stay and covering essential expenses while I get back on my feet.

I've struggled to ask for help for quite a while. If you decide to help, know that it is greatly appreciated and that you are truly helping somebody who needs it. Thank you for taking the time to read my story and for considering a donation. Your kindness means more than I can express.
