My name is Joel, and I live in an assisted living facility where I rely on social security SSI benefits to get by. Each month, my payment goes directly toward food, water, and other basic necessities. After covering these essentials, I’m left with nothing for myself for the rest of the month. It’s a difficult situation, and I often find myself struggling to make ends meet as the weeks go by.

Living on such a limited income has made it challenging to budget and plan for anything beyond the bare minimum. I want to be able to take care of myself and approach each day with a sense of hope and mindfulness, but it’s hard when resources run out so quickly. Your support would make a world of difference, allowing me to budget week by week instead of just scraping by day to day. It would help me meet my needs more consistently and bring a sense of stability to my life.

I’m a 44-year-old single man, not married and with no children, doing my best to get by in an assisted living facility. I’m reaching out for donations because I truly need help to get through each week. Any support you can offer would mean so much to me and would help me look at life with a little more hope. Thank you for considering my story and for any help you can give.
