My name is Larry McIntosh, I am a survivor of an extremely traumatic and abusive childhood. I spent a majority of my life afterwards in foster care. Due to a lack of innocent guidance upon turning 18 I made a string of idiotic decisions and screw up a lot of good opportunities. So at 22 I went and joined the army. I excelled for the most part, learning as much as I could and trying to help and change lives every chance I got. I got married, and the got cheated on. I was accused of horrible acts by my then wife, and had to fight so save my career and name. I was proven innocent but not without massive financial loss. I bounced back. I was forced to pay 1000$ dollars in alimonies despite my innocence and was not granted immediate divorce though I was physically abused. I bounced back. I would go on to make an attempt on my own life, due to struggles with PTSD. While in the hospital my ex wife would empty my back accounts and yet again I was lost but I found a way and bounced back. I finished my 9th year and left the service honorably. I have records and witnesses that can attest for how hard I fought for those less fortunate. I then met a woman in an incredibly abusive relationship and we ended up dating. I did everything in my power to help free her from her abuser and it came at great cost to me both emotionally and financially. I am now caring for my own son and the son and daughter I was lucky enough to get from that relationship. These kids are everything to me and now I face the threat of losing not just them, but my home, my life, my car, and everything Ive built and bought for them. The reasoning being because I have done this financially solo for almost 4 years now. The father offers no child support after getting out of jail yet expects me to just roll over and hand them over when he asks. The grandma has openly expressed her hatred for me because of her personal problems with men. They have tried to get me stranded and leave me homeless while promising to open up their home to me during hardship, just to find out it was a ruse to steal my kids. The mother was there during this entire incident. I lost my 10k dollar bonus in the process. I was in a car wreck that almost killed me in December of 2024 in which I was knocked unconscious 6 times in 1 minute. I lost most of my ability to use my motor skills, including walking. I had no help, and due to not being able to afford health insurance, I went without medical care and still have issues. Yet I still found a job as a door to door sales man just to keep a roof over our heads. I have worked every hour possible up to 10 a day 6 days a week as that's all my work will allow due to safety requirements. I have never just asked for a hand out but I need help as those who should've have not. I am fighting with everything I have to get better work and finish my disability but I can't even afford one day off because it's just me. This is my last effort to save us from homelessness. If I can fix my car and get this paid I can get a second job and in just a year I should be able to have enough to use my VA loan and put be and my kids somewhere we belong, anything extra goes straight to non profit organization designed to help others struggling like me. Please even a dollar helps.
