Hello and blessings to all. This is very sensitive and vulnerable for me to share, but our family is struggling right now. We are calling out to friends, family, and the community hoping to receive some support to get back on track. We have been challenged to the max all year long and have gotten to the point where we are so severely fallen behind financially that I am having a hard time keeping us afloat. From losing out on a major vehicle investment that went sour to Ceiba being born and me taking off months of work to support and home, now the whole family has been on and off sick for months, and I've had to take off more time from work this year than ever before. Now to top it all off, my work has taken a complete standstill, and the wholesale distributors I deal with for my glass work are basically asking that I come back after the end of the year, putting us at risk of falling behind further. I depend on these sales to keep us afloat. I have been seeking other work opportunities but finding little. My hope and prayers are to recover some of the funds lost in purchasing a vehicle in Costa Rica; it is breaking down and being inoperable to the point where it's sitting, and I can't sell it. And hopefully, I will be able to put some funds aside to be any amount closer to caught up as we approach the holidays and the end of the year. I pray that this message finds you well and that any support comes right back to you in ten-fold generosity. I don’t want to be in the position of asking for community help but I also realize that it takes a village, and so I hope that any funds generated will be in service to our family so that we may continue to be in service to others. Gratitude and deep reverence for all.
