I’ll be brief. Due to the increasing costs to live we’ve gotten behind on our lot rent and in order to stay in our home we need to pay the front office ~$6,000 by tomorrow at the latest. Despite our efforts, and with some small help from a few friends and my sister who are also strapped, we have something less than $5,000 once my wife gets paid, making us short by about $1,000. Our daughter is special needs and I am sick and cannot work. My wife is also unwell, but she continues to labor on making all of our income. Even though it’s not my fault, I still feel guilty not being able to contribute, so I am doing the only thing I can and asking the internet for help.

Regardless of our desperate circumstance, I refuse to ask anyone to give more than $1. I strongly feel that our burden should not be a burden on others, but a larger community making small contributions can help meaningfully. Or, as someone once said, it takes a village. If you can give $1 a month, that would be a blessing. If you can only give once, I thank you. If you can share this and encourage others to help us with $1, that would be amazing. If enough people give, then we’ll be able to get through this.

I prefer not to think of the inevitable alternative. To give, please visit my Ko-Fi page. I’ve also written a longer post on this subject which you can read here. Thank you for your time and consideration. #help #mutualaid #giving
