I'm, Chris Smith. I'm a father a husband and a step father. I've worked hard for 17 years as cement truck driver. Back on Aug 30th of 2024, I broke my ring finger on my left hand and haven't worked since. I have used up my temporary disability I have been cleared to go back to work I need my DOT physical to be passed by the medical examiner I failed due to I need new glasses which I have just barely gotten a couple days ago and like the 25th or 26th of November I also need a note for my doctor saying that I'm no longer an alcoholic I have been clean and sober for over 30 days now and counting .I would like to be here for my daughter's graduation she is 6 now so I have a long time to go. As of right now I haven't worked for 4 months, my lights my gas and everything else will be turned off by the 3rd to the 5th of December I just need help paying the basic normal bills. I'm also going through bankruptcy and since I broke my hand and I can't work it's been kind of difficult I'm about to lose my house about to lose my job my career my wife and my children and everything that matters to me this is not a sob story this is the reality of my life right now. I've done all I can to improve my situation and I know things will get better.I'm asking for help to get by, if you don't wish to help that's fine, if you would like to help me and my family would appreciate it. I'm not looking for a handout, I'm looking for some help to help myself my family stay on the right track. We have been sober for over 30 days we want to be here for our children. Honestly I really don't like doing this I kind of hate myself for having to ask for help. I've always been able to take care of myself my parents taught me how to. Accidents happen life happens I've been a firm believer in if you can't do it for yourself and don't ask other people to do it for you, I've always been raised to not ask for help but now I am, I'm 43 years old I have a wife who is disabled I have a 14 yr old son and a 6 yr old daughter, we are about to lose our home and everything that we love I ask for help just to get us by until I get back to work. You can choose to see this however you want I'm just a human being asking other human beings for help. thank you very much for reading this long story, have a good day and may God bless your soul.
