Dear Sir or Madam,

I hope this message finds you well. I am reaching out to ask for your support during a very challenging time in my life. Your generosity can make a real difference as I work to regain stability and rebuild my future.

I grew up in Chesterfield Township, and as a gay teenager, I experienced mental and physical abuse from my father. At 17, I attended Parsons in New York City, but after my mother passed away from lung cancer, I returned to Michigan to finish high school.

After high school, I attended university in Savannah, Georgia, and began traveling to Europe, particularly Germany, where I met a friend who later helped me settle there. On my last trip to Europe, I met a friend in Brno, Czech Republic, and decided to move there.

In Brno, I continued my studies and worked as an external English teacher at the university. Unfortunately, I experienced my first psychosis and was hospitalized for three weeks in Germany. Later, I moved to Prague to teach at the university, where I was diagnosed with bipolar II disorder. Over the years, I faced many challenges, including five hospital stays, but I continued teaching English at universities, international companies, and embassies.

In 2025, after a mild psychosis, I decided to move back to Michigan. With no money or local support, I lost my job in Prague and reached out to the embassy. They provided a budget for housing and travel, but it is now exhausted so I would need help in paying the cost of room and board.

I am currently living in Detroit ,Michigan, staying at a room and board where the landlady is kindly letting me remain while I pay off my past due rent. I am working through my health, mental stability, and financial challenges, and I am also in the process of reintegration and repatriation.

I would be deeply grateful for any support that could help me regain stability, rebuild my life, and get back on my feet.

My family is unable or unwilling to assist me, so your help would mean the world to me. Any contribution, no matter the size, will directly support my journey toward independence and a brighter future.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for considering my request. Your generosity will make a meaningful difference in my life.

With gratitude

Brock Black
