I’ve been in recovery for four years and am over two years sober. My faith as a Christian and my commitment to service work and volunteering for my church and recovery groups have kept me going. I’ve been in Cincinnati for treatment the past two months, but recently, my truck broke down. After that, I lost my landscaping job for no reason, leaving me without money for food or medication. I found a new job that I love, but because of transportation issues, I’m at risk of losing it, which would put me back at square one—no job, no treatment, and no housing.
I’ve kept faith and done everything I can to build a great life and support my recovery, but it feels like I can’t catch a break. The stress has affected my health, and I’ve had to go to hospitals and withdraw from medication because I couldn’t afford it. I finally got a career and am in treatment, doing what I need to become a better man and provider, but I might lose everything again if I can’t get my truck fixed.
If I can get help to fix my truck and pay for medication, I’ll be able to keep my job, stay in treatment, and meet my obligations for housing and food. Your support would mean the world to me. You are the blessings that God sends through people and change lives for the greater good.
