My name is Kareem and I am a single father I have always taken pride in being independent and providing a safe stable life for my son but over the past couple of months an unexpected setback has brought us to a point where I can no longer handle things alone Recently my hours at work were unexpectedly cut I cut every unnecessary expense and picked up every extra shift available but despite my best efforts I fell behind We are currently two months behind on rent and our utility bills are past due I am working closely with my employer to get back to a full time schedule but I urgently need help bridging the gap to get us caught up and back on stable ground I am not looking for a free ride just a lifeline to help us climb out of this hole so I can keep a secure roof over my sons head Even if you are not able to donate sharing our campaign with your friends or network would mean the absolute world to us Thank you so much for taking the time to read our story and for any kindness prayers or support you can send our way
