Hi, I'm Stephen, reaching out on behalf of my family, a deeply heartfelt ask I wish I never had to do.
After losing my job in December as the sole breadwinner, I’ve only clawed my way to recently securing low-paying close to full-time work at The Home Depot, working there since March. It’s been hard on our family, and we continue claw our way out of being in a seriously dire, and still quite precarious financial position, continuing to need immediate support.
I also want to reassure you this is truly me sharing on behalf of my family, and is a 100% legitimate ask. I’ve done my best to add context and transparency in the video below that's a bit aged. I wasn’t able to get it onto YouTube due to some technical issues, but it’s safely hosted on a secure file-sharing platform called Proton Drive.
With monthly expenses to just cover the minimums, let alone make up ground, at a tune of approximately $4,250 remaining for June and $8,800 for July across our two rental properties, and for reasons we're not going to go into we can't move into one right now, any quick support right now truly makes a meaningful difference in helping us stabilize during this period.
Also, if you know of anyone that's looking for a great Chief of Staff, Program or Project Manager with over 15 years' cumulative experience in these roles, then I'd love to connect with anyone that has the means to hire me - Target salary is $150k-$220k. I'm willing to work multiple, fractional jobs to make it work, along with adjacent roles that are noted in this resume via the link below - https://drive.proton.me/urls/2HA6YNRXHR#kMkv5NqD15Be
Below are my Venmo/PayPal handles, and rest assured, these funds all go to benefit only our family - we don't mess around. IN ADDITION, the processing time is MUCH QUICKER on those two platforms than on GoFundMe, by anywhere between a couple of days (via debit/credit card) vs. up to nearly 3 weeks (via bank acct/routing #'s info) on GoFundMe:
Venmo: @Stephen-Kantola-1
PayPal: @SMKantola
Let me know if you have any questions through here.
We can't thank you enough for your time & consideration to donate to help us get out of this very vulnerable situation we're in. Nothing could be more gracious than you donating any amount to assist with improving our family's financial health & well-being.
And remember EVERY...DOLLAR...COUNTS, literally $1 donations are appreciated as emotional support, too, if you can't afford anymore!
With gratitude,
Stephen + Family
