I am reaching out to you today to ask for help with a situation that has completely upended my life. For some time, my house has been a work in progress. I had big plans, a clear vision, and the determination to hire people to complete the work. Over time, I managed to save up and purchase almost all of the building materials needed to complete the project. Unfortunately, life had other plans. Recently, my life changed overnight. I suddenly became permanently disabled, losing the physical capacity to gather my own income as now my income is limited to be able to hire people to complete the job. Because of this, my home is currently completely unlivable. I am stuck in a heartbreaking position: the dream of a safe, secure home is sitting right in front of me in the form of raw materials. While I have the supplies, I completely lack the funds to hire the professional labor and trade workers required to get the job done. Until my home can be completed, I am living couch to couch, without a stable place to call my own. I am starting this GoFundMe to raise money strictly for the cost of labor. Every dollar raised will go directly toward hiring reliable workers to step in framing, installing, and assembling my home so that it is safe, accessible, and livable for me. Asking for help is never easy, but I financily am unable afford to rebuild this home the bones are there though. If you are able to donate, no matter how small the amount, you will be directly helping me rebuild my life and regain my independence. If you cannot donate, sharing this link with your network would mean the world to me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your time, your kindness, and your support. With gratitude,
