First and foremost, I've never asked for charity in my life, I'm embarrassed and mortified.

To those who know me, you understand this isn’t easy to write. I’ve always prided myself on being resilient, resourceful, and independent. But today, I’m at a breaking point—and I need help.

After losing my job, I’ve been doing everything I can to stay afloat. I’ve exhausted my unemployment benefits and taken up driving for Uber just to keep some income coming in. But it’s not enough. My $1,000 mortgage payment is due, and without it, foreclosure is imminent. I’m terrified of losing my home.

I’ve sold everything of value. I’ve cut every expense I can. I don’t even have enough left to buy food for my dogs—my loyal companions who’ve stood by me through every high and low.

This is a desperate plea, not just for financial support, but for a lifeline. If you can help in any way—whether it’s a donation, sharing this campaign, or connecting me with job opportunities—I would be deeply grateful. Every dollar brings me one step closer to stability and gives me a chance to rebuild.

Thank you for reading, for caring, and for standing with me in this moment.

With gratitude,

David
