My name is Ernesto, and I never thought I’d find myself in a position where I needed to ask for help. I’ve always worked hard to provide for my two beautiful children, Avery and Eddie, and to keep our household running smoothly. As a massage therapist and a loving fiancé, I do everything I can to make sure my family is cared for and has what they need.

Unfortunately, I made some mistakes with my student loans. I was so worried about scams that I stopped making payments, and now my loans have been deferred. I’m facing the real possibility that the IRS will garnish my tax refund, which is something I rely on every year to help pay for my kids’ necessities, our bills, and basic household expenses. Like so many families, that refund is a lifeline that helps us get through the year.

This fundraiser will help us cover basic utilities, bills, clothes, and food for Avery and Eddie while I work to resolve my student loan situation. I never imagined I’d be in this position, but I’m reaching out because I truly need support right now. Any help you can give means the world to me and my family. Thank you so much for reading and for considering a donation.
