<div>Alright. So to make a sob story short,

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Unfortunately, the circumstances in which our profession has put us in have put a coworker of mine in such a terrible situation to the point where <strong>he is almost homeless and starving</strong>. The federal shutdown has lasted 34 days; we are federally funded. The votes keep failing. We were deemed essential and cannot leave work to make funds elsewhere.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Without forcing him to quit, I am wanting to start a fundraiser for <strong>my friend in need, whom I hold very close</strong>.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I’m not asking for much, and there is no goal in mind.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Our resources have been expended, and we have done everything we can.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I reach out to this community as a last-ditch effort and because it’s the only one I’ve known and grown close to.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I’ll link a GoFundMe here shortly if you would like to donate. A few dollars here, a few dollars there. As long as I can keep him fed.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><strong>Every penny helps. I would not reach out if I didn’t think it was dire.</strong> I understand it is not your duty whatsoever, and this may rub a lot of people the wrong way, but it is worth the shot if it can raise somebody else up.
