It’s extremely hard for me to ask for help and I rarely do. But right now I am in a position where I need as much help as possible, because it's not just about me. I have a one year old son that is my everything and deserves the world. To make a long story short.....I have been battling depression, anxiety and just an immense amount of stress that is placed on my shoulders. I have been getting professional help with these issues and trying to stay strong. But as a father, you don’t get time to take a break, lick your wounds and cope with problems. The woman I fell in love with left me recently, and in some ways it was a blessing in disguise because of all the physical, mental and emotional abuse I had to endure. Some people don’t realize that men going through abuse is a real issue and does exist as well. She abused me (as she has for some time), and filed false reports for untrue/fictitious protective orders. She did this to be manipulative, to control me (ultimately that has affected me working), to keep me away from my son, and to use me to get her way. It has worked so much in the past because I felt stuck and defeated. I am already struggling to pay bills. I have been digging a huge hole fighting false charges/protective orders, hiring attorneys for various custody issues, trying to stay afloat with bills of my own, trying to live my day to day life and just get by. I have never been in debt prior to recently. I am so far behind on bills that I am now about to get evicted. I'm actually in the process of being evicted and will end up being homeless and losing my vehicle as we speak. I urgently need help as soon as possible. With my health issues of fighting depression and anxiety, It’s hard to work anymore than I am already working. The past couple years I have taken out a couple loans to just get by, to purchase a vehicle so I can have reliable transportation to and from work, legal representation, pay bills, etc. I’m trying to help myself and just trying to fight for custody of my son, so he can avoid being in a cycle of abuse I was around. I have a kid I must provide for, and with financial backing and some help I would love to have more stability in my life. I would love to have enough put to the side to pay for pending and upcoming legal representation after I know I can keep a roof over my head. I would love to have my rent paid for the foreseeable future since I am about to be evicted and be on the streets. Anyone that knows me personally know I have always been a positive, optimistic, see the glass as half full, always wearing a smile no matter what, never one to complain, not one to make excuses, and takes pride on being financially responsible in life. But, as life happens, sometimes you are thrown a curveball or dealt a bad hand of unfortunate circumstances. With that being said, I am begging and pleading for any financial assistance you can help me with. Please find it in your heart to be understanding, empathetic and compassionate for my story not only on my behalf but on behalf of my son I love dearly. It has been hard and some days I feel like I’m losing the battle to fight. Please help me turn things around, and even though financial help won’t solve all my problems, it would certainly help a great deal. I wrote this with 100% honesty, transparency, humility and a broken heart. Thank you for any donations you can help me with, and please share my story with everyone you can, including any churches or organizations . I promise I will pay it forward when I am back on my feet. Hopefully someone can pass this on to their church, any organization, or as many kindhearted individuals can give what they can to help. Have a nice day and thanks once again on behalf of myself and my son.
