Hello, My Name is James Meisner. I am a single father of three amazing children that I have 3-4 days a week. A month ago I was unexpectedly let go from my job as a Personal Care Assistant where I took care of adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Well, my problems didn't end there because a week later I was forced to leave the place my children and I had been living for the last year and a half. I have reached out to every possible resource for assistance in the Fond du Lac area but as it seems I am not the only person in need, so it may take a while for any kind of housing assistance. I have applied for unemployment and continue making my weekly claims but as you may know, with Covid and all the back up it's unclear when those funds will actually come through. As of now, I donate plasma weekly and do any kind of side jobs I can to try and feed my kids and I whenever I have them. I've been blessed enough to find different places for us to sleep on nights there with me, but unfortunately, on nights I'm alone I sleep in my car. The reason I'm writing all of this is in hopes, that someone, Anyone will read the whole thing and find it in their heart to lend a hard-working father a hand. I do NOT normally like to take handouts, because I like to earn the things my children and I need or want. I'm typically not the guy to openly share my life online, my issues or troubles especially with people I don't even know. My kids are honestly the only thing that keeps me going and the only reason I'm Begging ANYONE for help PLEASE. I have a few different job prospects that will hopefully come through soon, but even after that happens I'll need to wait a few weeks to get my first check and hope it's enough for a first month's rent and security deposit. With Christmas right around the corner as you can only imagine I'm extremely desperate and don't know what else to do! :( If I could even find a place that has the first month rent-free that would be helpful because I might be able to come up with enough for a security deposit before then. I'm not asking for anything I wouldn't pay back someday, I just need a little help so I can put my life back together. Even if you can't help I want to Thank You for at very least reading this whole thing. It does mean something to me what her you believe it or not. God Bless.
