Hi! I’m Fox. Thank you for stopping by to look at my gofund me page. I am here asking friends, acquaintances and kind strangers for assistance. I would never do this unless I absolutely needed it and well, im in a position where I am desperately in need of help.

It’s a lot to ask for people to donate money and lord know there are a lot of people out there who need more and are way worse off situations than me. Believe me, I count my blessings everyday. However, I find myself in trying times and I could really use assistance so I humbly ask and in return I can only give you my word. My vow is that I would absolutely return the favor if ever needed. I don’t want just a hand out.

I have found myself in one of the most challenging financial times I’ve ever been in. My hours at work got drastically cut because of the weather (outdoor restaurant) and in general, the restaurant world is not doing so hot so even when I’m at work I’m making next to nothing. I have a long commute about 30 miles each way for work. My body is in pain from driving so much. I’m spending so much on gas and oil changes because of all the driving I’m doing it’s just not even worth it. I’ve had to part ways with this establishment for many reasons and have been diligently looking for work elsewhere. Currently my other job is delivering Uber eats. So more time spent in the car. I cash out just so I can get gas so I can keep driving. It’s miserable.

Rent is coming up. I’ve been living on borrowed funds, loans and have gotten so behind on bills I am in a constant state of panic. I can’t sleep, I can’t eat. I’m not being dramatic. Im worried about my health. Forget about even going to see a doctor. Health insurance, dental, forget about it. All that is a luxury at this point. I’m in survival mode. They say money can’t buy happiness but boy can the lack of money cause intense suffering and even illness. I feel my body is weaker because of the lack of sleep and I hardly have an appetite because I’m in a state of worry constantly. I’m using all the balancing tools I can: yoga, meditation, positive thinking but it’s so difficult when you truly have no idea how you’re gonna live. Instead I keep drowning and drowning as the unpaid bills accumulate. While I’m this transition phase I ask for help. I ask because I’m not good at asking for help. And sometimes you just need a little help from people who are better off than you. And some day I may find myself being better off financially than someone else, and able to do the same for them. I hope I do. You better believe I will. Because I know how it feels. It takes a lot to muster up the courage to say ‘I ain’t doing well. And I’m really really scared. And I need help’. so here I am saying it.

I’m trying to get on my feet. I’ve calculated how much I need to pay rent for March and get back on track with my late bills and all the money I owe that I’ve needed to borrow and it’s about $3000. If you can find it in you to share what you can, no matter how little or how much so I can get back on track I promise I will never forget it and I will absolutely pay it forward. I don’t take this sort of thing lightly. I am tremendously grateful that this sort of platform exists because we are all in this world together. And sometimes we need each other.

I hope this all doesnt sound like some woe is me sap story or that I want you to pity me because it’s not. I don’t ever share my problems, I keep them to myself and work them out in my own. Now I’ve reached a point when I can’t do it alone and if I keep trying I’m scared something bad is gonna happen because all the debt collectors are blowing up my phone and I don’t know what to tell them. I really feel ashamed that I have to do this but I also know that sometimes things are out of our control and we must do what we can to get out of the situation and move forward into a better situation. Sometimes the momentum is so strong in the negative directionyou need outside forces to slow it down so you don’t get avalanched by it. This is my story right now.

I thank you so much for your time and generosity. I Thank you for reading. I Thank you for helping. From the bottom of my heart I am deeply grateful and will never forget it. That’s a promise

Sincerely,

Fox
