Support a Father in Crisis: Prevent Homelessness

This is probably the most embarrassing I've ever written and it’s incredibly hard to write as if it all hadn't happened to me, I wouldn't believe it.

Many of you know that over the last year, my life has been a nightmare. I’ve lost nearly everything. My wife. Many of my friends. My dream home. Most of my belongings.

I keep waiting for it to get easier. For the chaos to subside. But it simply hasn’t.

My ex has spent the better part of the year doing everything she can to make our lives harder in every way imaginable. I have been arrested three times, spent two weeks in county jail and spent a month in a hospital after a mental health breakdown. In total, she filed 16 charges against me, all of which have been dismissed. This past month, she even filed to take my daughter away from me, which also was dismissed.

Over the past year, I have spent thousands of dollars on lawyers and court fees. Have lost time at work and am struggling more than I ever have in my life. I am at rock bottom.

The silver lining is that all of these issues appear to be coming to a close. In addition, my kids are back with me now and started school in the area this week.

No one has any obligation to help me, but I am desperate. I have gotten so behind on bills and rent that if I cannot come up with this money by next Wednesday, we will lose our home. I am currently working every angle in my power to pull together as much as possible and have even applied for rental assistance and government funds which even if approved, likely would not come in time.

It’s the hardest thing I’ve ever faced, being 46 years old, with three kids, begging for help. But here I am.

I don’t have much left and I’m trying to rebuild and I have to believe that eventually it will be ok and I will climb out of this stronger. But for now, I need any support that anyone might be able to give…a donation, a share.

Thank you all that still support me. You have no idea how much it means to me.
