<div>Hi, my name is Jack and I am currently homeless. This isn't easy to share, but I'm doing everything I can to get back on my feet and I am asking for your help to take the next step toward stability and a better life. 
</div>

<div>I never imagined I'd end up in this situation. Ever since I was 15, I was prescribed medication to help me cope with my ADHD. When I was 19, I met up with a stranger I met online who got me hooked on other substances.  Over the next couple of years, I was in and out of school, rehab and sober living. I have been without stable housing for 6 years and surviving day to day is a constant struggle - but I have not given up. I have decided to turn my life around after my addiction nearly killed me. 
</div>

</div>
<div>I am now sober, trying to get a job and a safe place to live to rebuild my life. I am exhausted by a life of survival among crime, and constant danger. I am applying for jobs but until I am able to get back up on my feet, I would really appreciate any donation or just sharing this post.

<div>If you’re reading this after seeing me on Jubilee’s Middle Ground — thank you for taking the time. I was nervous that day, but I hope I was able to share something meaningful.

<div>Funds raised here will go directly toward building stability and safety:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Housing outside the shelter system, to reduce daily drug temptations
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Clean clothes and food (my EBT was recently cut off, and even when it’s active, living on the streets makes it hard to buy affordable bulk items)
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Toiletries, transportation, and eventually a car
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Overdue medical bills and legal fees
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>And something simple but important: the chance to experience joy again — whether that’s a movie, a museum, or just a normal day where survival isn’t the only focus
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’m asking for your help to give me a chance at a brighter future. I don’t want to be another statistic. With your support, I believe life can be great.

<div>Thank you for reading, for sharing, and for believing in me. ❤️
