Struggling 49-year-old father of 4 children. I'm barely making ends meet. I was previously in a relationship with the kids' 45-year-old mother for 26 years. We always had two incomes, so struggling wasn't ever an issue. Now we parted ways, and she will not pay her half of the support after 2 years. I'm not gonna bash her on here! I'm not the one to ask for handouts or donations. I don't even like to ask. I work 2 jobs just to keep a roof, clothes on their backs, and food on hand.

I want to be able to provide a better life for my kids. This probably won't even help. I'll be surprised if I even raise $20. Not trying to be a pessimist, I just know it's hard to get help. I know if it was a single mom though, I would probably get a bunch of donations. There is a horrible stigma about deadbeat fathers out there, mostly created by the mother. I'm definitely not a deadbeat. I take care of mine and am raising them by myself. I never in a million years thought it would come to me having to ask for help. I am ashamed to even create this GoFundMe!

The kids are great kids!!! I love them with all my ❤️! They all are gonna grow up to be great humans, I have no doubt!! I would post pictures, but I'm kinda on the fence about doing that. Anyways, I'm gonna wrap this up. Any help, ANY, will go a long way! I don't know if you are able to leave messages on here or not, but even a positive message would help too. Thank you in advance!!
