Angel Hernandez

My name is Angel, a devoted father of three daughters and a proud grandfather to three beautiful grandchildren. I never imagined I would be in a position where I would have to ask for help, but today I am doing so with humility and honesty. For nearly 32 years, I worked tirelessly in the telecommunications industry, most recently as an RF Engineer for T-Mobile. I was unexpectedly terminated on November 12, 2022, and since that moment, my life has been a constant struggle to survive. Despite applying to countless jobs, I have been unable to find stable employment. With no safety net, I turned to Uber and Lyft just to keep food on the table. I’ve been driving the same car for almost 10 years, and every day I live with the fear that a breakdown could take away my only source of income. What breaks my heart the most is watching my wife carry the financial burden alone: the mortgage, utilities, and essential bills while I fight just to keep us afloat. Rideshare income barely covers food and car maintenance, leaving us constantly behind. This prolonged stress has affected my health. I now suffer from lower back arthritis and moderate hearing loss, making long hours of driving painful and exhausting. I applied for Social Security assistance, but I was denied. It feels as though every door has been closed, and I am running out of options. As Christmas approaches, instead of joy, I feel fear and sadness. I am doing everything in my power, but I can’t do this alone anymore. I am urgently asking for any donation, no matter how small, to help us through this difficult time, help keep our bills paid, our car running, and our family together. Your support could be the lifeline we desperately need. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for your kindness, compassion, and support. God bless you.
