Hi, my name is Darius, and I’m reaching out during one of the hardest moments of my life.

For the past six years, I worked as a Sales Manager. I poured everything into my career and truly believed I was building stability for my future. But after losing that job, everything began to unravel. I haven’t been able to find steady work since, and now I’m facing eviction, on the verge of losing my car, and struggling to afford basic necessities like food and electricity.

I’m also a full-time graduate student studying Applied Artificial Intelligence—trying to create a better life for myself and eventually give back to others. But it’s hard to focus on the future when you’re unsure where you’ll sleep next week.

I’ve been trying everything: applying for jobs, creating content, even starting TikTok videos to build some income. But after six months, I’ve only made $4.

This is one of the most humbling things I’ve ever had to do, but I’m asking for help. Every donation will go toward:

• Rent & avoiding eviction

• Utilities

• Food & essentials

• Transportation to get to interviews and stay afloat

If you’re in a position to give, I’ll never forget it. And if you can’t donate, please share this or send some encouragement my way. That alone could mean the world right now.

Thank you for reading this. Thank you for seeing me.
