I was offered a new position in a new building my job opened in North Carolina. I took the offer, hoping my employer would help with living expenses for a few months until I got on my feet, but unfortunately, that hasn't happened. I'm currently sleeping in a side room at my job thanks to my supervisor, who has shown kindness during this difficult time. Hotel fees are very high, and I can't afford to work just to pay for hotels every week. I also send money back home to my wife for our kids, since she's out of work at the moment. I didn't leave her—I came down ahead to secure my position and help my family, hoping things would get easier soon.

The funds raised will go strictly towards my living expenses. Food isn't my main concern right now; I really need shelter and access to showers. Having a safe place to stay will make a huge difference for me, and it will help me focus on my job and supporting my family back home. It would mean everything if I can have any type of help. It will also calm the stress of my wife back home, so she doesn't have to worry about where her husband will be sleeping from night to night in this heat and crazy rain storms. Your support would bring hope and relief to my family during this challenging time.
