This is hard. Asking for help always is. There are a lot of things that happened to get me to this point but the last six months have been a struggle like I’ve never had. It’s been hard to talk about and hard to understand. Many of you know pieces of it and have given support I couldn’t have imagined.

I made a hard decision today and quit my job without notice. It was not impulsive but it was sudden. My mental and physical health have been affected severely and I cannot continue to pretend things are okay.

My ask is simple but hard for me. I am in a dispute with my landlord over a new lease signing and have not paid August rent due to it. I must pay by 8/22 and I was depending on the check I would have received today. Another long story but I’ve been using vacation time for a couple of weeks and did not get a check.

Thank you all for reading this, for the support you have already given and for considering helping. I would like this to stay private for now due to a family crisis we are dealing with but if you would like to share this privately with someone, I would be grateful.

With love and gratitude,

Chris
