Help Victor Save Precious Memories

Dear Generous GoFunders, Family & Friends,

As many of you know (and some of you may not), my mom tragically passed away just before the pandemic. The grief I felt from losing her, coupled with the trauma of holding her in my arms as she took her last breath, broke me. I fell into a deep depression and nearly gave up on life. I also blamed myself for not being able to save her, something I still struggle with today. The devastation of losing my mother affected every part of my life, and as a result, I lost the home we shared, my car, and, at my lowest, almost my life. I was forced to pack the few belongings we had and store them in a unit to prevent losing them as well.

Over the past few years, I've been struggling and have fallen on truly hard times, making it difficult to pay for the storage unit. I feel like I'm caught in a tug of war between keeping the new place I've fought so hard to secure and losing the memories that mean so much to me, or losing my home and having nowhere to live. I’ve tried to work out a payment plan with the storage facility without success, and though I’ve been desperately searching for a second job, I’ve run out of time. They will only accept payment in full, and I’m falling further behind. In just a matter of days, all of my memories and belongings will be auctioned off.

So, I’m humbling myself and setting aside my pride to ask for help. I need to pay off the unit and retrieve my things before I lose them for good. Words can’t begin to express how important this is to me. Any amount you can contribute is deeply appreciated.

The donations received will pay off the storage unit and will also allow me to rent a u-haul so I can transport my things from the storage facility to my apartment.

Thank you.

Sincerely,

Victor
