Hello, I hope you are doing well. I am a 55-year-old veteran who has dedicated part of my life to serving our country and subsequently transitioning into a career as a painter. However, I am writing to you today to humbly request financial assistance due to the severe physical challenges I now face, which have significantly impacted my ability to perform my job and manage daily living tasks.

 

After serving honorably in the military, I found solace and purpose in painting homes. Both interior and exterior. I have been able to earn decent money over the years (since 2001).  Unfortunately, over the past few years, my health has deteriorated. I now have arthritis and sciatica, conditions that cause immense pain and hinder my mobility. These ailments have made it increasingly difficult to perform the physically demanding tasks associated with painting, such as climbing ladders, bending, and reaching low areas to paint.

 

The arthritis in my joints causes stiffness and pain, making it difficult to hold and maneuver painting tools for extended periods. My sciatica, which results from nerve compression, causes sharp, debilitating pain that radiates from my lower back down to my legs. Together, these conditions have severely limited my ability to work efficiently and safely. Tasks that once took me a short amount of time now require much longer, and I often find myself in significant pain by the end of the day. I can work 2 to 3 days before I have to take pain medication. Sometimes I use cbd topical cream or Real Time brand pain cream. They both work well for a certain amount of time until the pain is unbearable.

 

Due to these health issues, my income has drastically decreased. The reduced work capacity means fewer job opportunities and longer recovery times between tasks. Despite my best efforts to manage my conditions through medication, physical therapy, and lifestyle adjustments, the physical nature of painting is nearly beyond my current capabilities. This has placed an enormous financial strain on me, as I struggle to cover basic living expenses and other necessary costs. I get free medical treatment through the Veterans Hospital. That’s a blessing.

 

Moreover, these health challenges extend beyond my professional life. I can’t play with my grandkids like I could in recent years. The constant pain and limited mobility have affected my overall quality of life, leading to a sense of frustration and helplessness at times.

 

I am reaching out to request financial assistance to help alleviate some of the burdens I am facing and hopefully help me transition from hard labor to a passive income. With adequate support, I hope to explore alternative career options that are less physically demanding. I am currently working on a new YouTube channel that helps myself as well as others to strengthen and enhance the mind. Teaching people that ours minds are more powerful than most people believe. We can change ours lives if we change the way we think.

 

As a veteran, I have always taken pride in my ability to contribute to society and support myself. However, these health challenges have made it increasingly difficult to maintain my independence. Your support would provide me with the opportunity to adapt to my current circumstances and regain a sense of stability and dignity. Helping me to make the transition from blue collar to white collar. I don’t want to let go of the painting business totally. I have been teaching the younger generation to paint. But, it’s hard to find someone who wants to continue working.

Thank you for taking the time to consider my request. I am deeply grateful for any assistance you can provide.

A donation $25,000 would significantly help with my YouTube channel advertising and monetizing expenses. It will assist with my monthly bills for 6 months. 6 months is my goal to start making a decent passive income on YouTube.

The year was going well with our new life and my new job. I slowly noticed some things about my wife’s health. Of course, I had spoken and met her family (children) many times and I remember something that her daughter had said to me. It was something like “My mom has an issue with her speech and getting the words out”. I had not paid much attention to it at that time because I had not noticed it before. Her daughter and 2 sons were somewhat aware of this previously, only her daughter mentioned it.

I spoke to my wife about this, and we decided that we needed to investigate it. I researched for a neurologist in the area. After meeting with the neurologist, he suggested that she have some tests performed to assess exactly what the issue was. MRI and CAT scan revealed no damage to her brain other than normal age-related atrophy. After the mental assessment was complete it was determined that she has Frontotemporal Dementia –

Primary progressive aphasia (PPA) is the second major form of frontotemporal degeneration that affects language skills, speaking, writing, and comprehension. PPA normally comes on in midlife, before age 65, but can occur in late life also.

• There are no specific treatments for any of the frontotemporal subtypes. Some medications can reduce agitation, irritability, and/or depression. These treatments should be used to help improve quality of life.
• FTD inevitably gets worse over time and the speed of decline differs from person to person. For many years, individuals with FTD have shown muscle weakness and coordination problems, leaving them needing a wheelchair — or bedbound. Eventually, people with frontotemporal degeneration die because of the physical changes that can cause skin, urinary tract, and/or lung infections.

When my wife passed from dementia in December 2020, I was of course devastated. We had been together for 5 years and as her main caretaker, all my soul and my life were emptied.

After grieving (it never completely leaves), I realized that our promises were not fulfilled. Before her Aphasia took her voice, she made me promise to fulfill our desire to travel to Asia. It wasn’t her first choice as her heritage was Hungarian. That slowly changed when we became “addicted” to the Asian travel and food shows we always watched on Saturday morning PBS.

A short culinary history. I attended culinary school in 2000 (Le Cordon Bleu), and since then, I have taken every opportunity in everything food, beverage, and the culinary arts.

So, full circle, that is why I am here.

My primary request is for assistance in funding my airfare to my base in the Philippines and providing funds that will allow me to fully immerse myself in the wonders that await me there. I would like to raise a minimum of USD 20,000 for a 6 to 9-month stay.  Once I am in the Philippines, I will have the privilege of connecting with personal friends throughout Asia who are not only enthusiastic about sharing their knowledge but also dedicated to taking me off the beaten path to explore remote and lesser-known places brimming with history, culture, and culinary delights.

I plan to visit a multitude of enchanting destinations, subject to travel permissions and circumstances. Through captivating photographs, engaging narratives, and frequent updates, I will ensure that you are an integral part of this adventure, even if you cannot physically join me. I will keep a diary on my blog- Bluejgourmet.com

By supporting my journey, you will contribute to the preservation and celebration of diverse cultures, the exchange of knowledge, and the promotion of understanding and respect among different communities. Your generosity will empower me to document and share these extraordinary experiences with the world, fostering a sense of global unity and appreciation.

Every contribution, no matter the size, will make a meaningful impact on my ability to seize this incredible opportunity. Whether it is the cost of a cup of coffee or a modest donation, your support will bring me one step closer to realizing our dreams and making a lasting impact on my life.

I am deeply grateful for your consideration and support in making this travel adventure a reality. Together, let’s embrace the beauty of the world, celebrate diverse cultures, and inspire others to pursue their dreams. If you would like more information or have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to me.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for being a part of this incredible journey!

With sincere gratitude,

Hello, I am securing funds for a deposit on a shuttle bus conversion into a tiny house on wheels and a down payment on a couple of acres of land is essential for me to embark on a transformative journey towards sustainable living. Here’s why I need your help raising $10,000 for this endeavor:

 

1. **Affordability Barrier**: As an individual with limited financial resources, the upfront costs associated with purchasing both a shuttle bus and land are prohibitive. The expense of acquiring suitable transportation and a plot of land suitable for sustainable living exceeds my current financial capacity. Your support will bridge this affordability gap and make this dream a reality.

 

2. **Environmental Consciousness**: My motivation for pursuing this project stems from a deep-seated commitment to environmental sustainability. Converting a shuttle bus into a tiny house on wheels allows me to repurpose existing resources, minimizing waste and reducing my ecological footprint. Additionally, securing land enables me to implement sustainable practices such as permaculture and renewable energy systems, contributing positively to the environment.

 

3. **Self-Sufficiency and Resilience**: Living off-grid in a tiny house on wheels empowers me to cultivate self-sufficiency and resilience. By harnessing renewable energy sources, implementing water conservation techniques, and growing my own food, I can reduce dependency on external utilities and systems. This lifestyle promotes a greater sense of autonomy and resourcefulness, qualities that are invaluable in today’s uncertain world.

 

4. **Community Engagement**: Beyond personal benefits, this project offers opportunities for community engagement and collaboration. Through workshops, events, and educational initiatives, I aim to share knowledge and inspire others to embrace sustainable living practices. By creating a supportive network of like-minded individuals, we can amplify our collective impact and effect positive change on a broader scale.

 

5. **Long-Term Vision**: This project is not just about immediate needs; it’s about investing in a sustainable future. By laying the groundwork for an off-grid lifestyle now, I am sowing the seeds for long-term environmental stewardship and resilience. The ripple effects of this endeavor extend far beyond myself, influencing future generations and contributing to a more sustainable world.

 

In summary, your contribution towards raising $10,000 for a deposit on a shuttle bus conversion and land acquisition is instrumental in realizing my vision of sustainable living. With your support, I can overcome financial barriers, pursue environmental consciousness, cultivate self-sufficiency, engage with the community, and work towards a brighter, more sustainable future. Thank you for considering and supporting this meaningful endeavor.

I don’t even know or where to begin or how to put into words my need of help but, I will first tell you of who I am…People have always said that I’m a very hard worker and I would like to think that as well .I have never called out to work and have always shown up for work ahead of time .Yet in working sometimes we don’t always make enough to make end meet.Although I don’t show my frustration on the outside…I simply keep it moving. As I have always made it my personal responsibility to bear the stress of everyone in my immediate circle .Too offset this I would work and work and work.Now you might be asking yourself..okay if you work so much ,,why are you in need of help…and my response is when you work hard for so long you look for way to work smarter and I have …I have noticed that with all the ways to make money. You have to pay to be in a program or pay the right person.I have paid to be in programs and have paid for coaches to help ..But I didn’t get rich …just further in debt….in the tune of$ 74,489… Now ,as I look back on this I have stayed optimistic about paying my debt …and it has been paid down to roughly $55,769. This is the help I need to be caught up …

I am a 66 year old disabled Veteran, I turned 66 on may 9th.  I have a 70% service connected rating.  I have had both hips replaced the right one has been done twice.  Over 15 years ago and I think the pain from that is telling me that they need some more attention .  I have had my had surgery on my right shoulder and hand.  All of these makes it hard for me to get around some days.  I graduated from the USAISD (United States Army Intelligence School Devens)  at Fort Devens in Ayer, Massachussetts.

I never thought the day would come when I was on a website like this begging for money.  I got out of the Army to come home and help my Father on the family farm.  He had congestive heart failure an renal failure.  He was a farmer the crop he grew was Pecans.  Almost every year I would take leave during the fall or winter to come home and help him with the harvest.  Not long after I got out of the service he passed away.  Then the medical problems started with my Mother  and she passed.  After my Father’s passing I went to work for a company that processed (shelled) pecans and sold to different baking and confections companies.  I was the main buyer of the inshell pecans.  I did good I knew all of the pecan growers all the way accross the pecan growing areas from Georgia to Arizona.  I went into business for myself and did really well at it.  My wife at the time was diagnosed with Colorectal cancer.  For 5 years I worked from home being by her side every day.  Countless trips to Doctors and the hospital.  She was given the all clear sign from her Oncologist.  About the same time all of the pecan shelling companies in the Southeast moved out West to ElPaso, LasCruces or Mexico.  The labor force in the Southeast had become undependable and to expensive.  The lure of plenty of eager employees at a cheaper rate of pay inticed them to move.  That took away the companies I had been selling the pecans that I purchased from local people that had trees in their yards and farmers.  I could have shipped them to the Southwest to shelling companies but the freight costs took any profit to be made out of the equation.  After the lengthy sickness of my wife and the bills that went along with it just about all off the funds I had been abe to put aside for the future were gone.   Then after the close my business because there was no profit to be made I guess she had all she could stand.  We divorced, there was no cheating, abuse, drinking or drugs.  I filed with the VA for disability.  I could have done it years earlier but I didn’t the way I looked at it was that I didn’t need it financially and there were Veterans that needed it more.   In a few months I received my rating and started getting a check every month.  $1,721.00 a month is now what it is up to.  I was renting a house to live in ever since I got divorced in 2019.  3 years ago the owners of the house sold it.  I moved into the office of my empty pecan warehouse and lived in it until I fixed up a little concrete block building (24 feet x 40 feet) to live in.  I sold my warehouse because I could no longer make the payments.  I then bought an 1986 well used 5th wheel camper 24 feet long for $1,500.00 that had a lot of repairs that needed to be done.  I put the camper in the woods on land that a friend owns for free.   There is no water or electricity where it is or even close to it.  I do the best I can with solar panels and a generator.   The $25 to $30 a day for gas was killing me and the batteries I really needed for the solar panels to work properly are to expensive so it didn’t do much good.   A little over 6 months ago during a severe thunderstorm with lightning and high winds, tornadoes had been spotted within 10 miles of my location.  A big oak tree split and half of it fell on my camper.  Buster and I got out and went to my pickup which had also took a big hit from the limbs.  I have been doing what I can to repair the camper but my funds have been limited.  I have been living in a hotel that charges $1,000.00 a month.  Living in a hotel is more expensive due to the fact that when I go grocery shopping I can only buy for 2 days at the most due to the limted space in the waist high refrigerator and the fact that I am not supposed to cook in the room.  I don’t know what to do.  I have never felt so hopeless and unnecessary.  I think back on the pastand I am proud of what I have done for people and my service to our country.  I wouldn’t change one day of it.  But when you are down you find oiut who your true friends are.  It appears that I don’t have any.

I just need enough money to be able to secure housing and make some repairs to my pick-up truck.  It would be nice to have a washer and dryer so I don’t have to spend $8.00 just on the washing machine and dryer to clean one load of clothes.  When a person is living the way I am in a hotel wtihout the appliances that they would have in a real home it just costs a lot more.   It’s a vicious circle that seems impossible to get straightened out.  I know I have gone on longer than I should have.  If there is something you can do for me it will be greatly appreiated.  Thank you and God Bless.

Dear Friends, Family, and Kind Strangers,

I’m reaching out to share a dream that’s been on my heart for quite some time now – owning my own home. As a first-time homebuyer, I’ve been diligently saving up for a down payment, but I’ve encountered a significant hurdle along the way: my student loan debt. Despite my best efforts, my student loans have fallen into default, making it nearly impossible for me to qualify for a traditional mortgage.

However, I refuse to let this setback deter me from my goal of homeownership. I believe that having a place to call my own is not only a dream but a crucial step towards financial stability and security. That’s why I’m reaching out to you today for support.

With your help, I aim to raise enough funds to cover the 20% down payment required for a $90,000 home if the entire amount covered. This will allow me to secure a mortgage and finally move into a place I can truly call home. Your contribution, no matter how small, will make a world of difference in helping me achieve this milestone.

But my journey doesn’t end here. Once I’m settled into my new home, I’ll be able to focus on tackling my student loan debt head-on. With a stable living situation, I’ll have the peace of mind and financial flexibility to develop a plan to get my loans back on track.

I understand that times are tough for many of us, but even the smallest donation can have a ripple effect in changing someone’s life. Whether it’s skipping a coffee or donating what you can spare, your generosity will be deeply appreciated and never forgotten.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story and considering supporting my campaign. Together, we can make the dream of homeownership a reality.

With gratitude,
[Justin]

Hello kind souls!  I just wrote a whole thing and it accidentally got erased! 😫😫😫😭😭

basically,  I said that I would be so grateful for any help at all with my financial situation.  Im about $40,000 in debt.  Medical bills and Vet bills.  I ended up having to put my cat down after multiple visits to the vet 😔😔😔.  And that was thousands of dollars.  Then I had to have a surgery that ended up being denied coverage by insurance that was supposed to be covered.  I’m struggling to pay the monthly minimum payments,  and now the interest rates have gone up.  If anyone reading this would be able to help at all,  I would be eternally grateful!  Not expecting anything,  but would be sooooo grateful for any help.   Thank you thank you thank you!!!! 🥰

bless you all!!!

My best friend and mother of my wonderful boys found another who was connected to drugs andunemployed so had more time,energy and unfortunate things to give to her to get her to leave us twice. Since the teee work was so hard on me it has been an extremely stressful and difficult time readjusting and finding something i can do to support my family, as well as bring in a substantial enough income to be able to keep my boys in a neighborhood unlike the one i grew up in,and provide enough extra curriculars and such that my boys are positive upstanding,contributing men in society.my oldest is graduating soon i cannot afford anything as far as a cap and gown,anything for him after graduation,im so incredibly proud and sad at the same time,my other boys need clothes and my car is falling apart,ive been able to have the bare necessities and keep my bills at a minimum,but the extras are not, just not.ive reconnected with a crush from high-school and we signed papers and gor married no ceremony because of money,so no honeymoon,at this point i feel totally like im not doing what a man should for his family and it hurts my heart and soul.My wife and boys deserve so much more than what im giving,ive been trying so hard with little traction untill late, but it wont be enough and in time,so unfortunately i need help,and im hoping someone kind and willing hears my plea……extremely ashamed 💙 ❤️

Dear Sir/Madam,

Thank you all in advance for taking the time to consider my situation. I am a father of 2 beautiful children. I have always been a provider for my children/family, ensuring that all their needs were met, at home, academically and athletically. Trouble started for me when Covid came along and I lost my job. What little savings I had were quickly chewed up over the next year and during that time, my hardship forced me to miss on payments to creditors and taxes. For the first time in my life, I was scraping the bottom of the barrel and my credit was taking a nose dive.

Fast-forward a year later, I secured a job that took me to California. It was a blessing for two reasons, 1) it brought my wife closer to her family back in her home state and 2) The job offered incredible benefits and an equity position after a year. That said, despite the equity and two incomes between my wife and me, the high-tax rate and other unforeseen expenses kept us struggling financially. By August of 2023 after 17 years, we separated and moved into separate places. It was hard on the kids, and even harder on our finances. To add insult to injury, on November 17th, 2023, I was laid off from my job with many others due to cutbacks. During the last almost 5 and a half months, I have been applying endlessly to jobs, managing only 3 interviews, several rejections, and others that did not respond. Now, I find myself for the second time, the Covid period being the first, since moving out from my childhood home, being supported by an unemployment check and my amazing mother. I am frustrated but my faith keeps me grounded and hopeful that the tide will change for me here soon.

OK – (sigh) I am here asking for $40,000 to support the following while I rebuild my credit, search for a job, and re-establish financial stability:

• IRS and Credit Card Debt Payoff in Full – $15,300 dollars of debt.
• Rent/Utilities (for the next 4 months) – @$2850 per month = $11,400.
• Back Child Support ($1000 per month X 5 months) – $5000. If I can at least get this to my wife, I can breathe easily. To her credit, she has been quite understanding, but she too is beginning to feel the effects of my job loss.
• Health Insurance $450/month – $1800 – we no longer have health insurance. My wife’s job hired her on as a temp, so she did not get medical coverage. She is being considered for a permanent position and hopes to secure the job once she interviews. When this will be is a tricky question, because the company has also been on a hiring freeze.
• Business Marketing & Developement $6500 – For the past few years, I have been slowly developing a business, that empowers individuals to live their best lives while inspiring those around them. This business is my passion and I discovered it when my son made a simple birthday request for me to quit smoking in 2o14. I could not give it the best attention over the years because my job’s obligations did not afford me enough time. The business uses positive words, we call mantras, and art on hats, tees and hoodies inspire the one wearing the brand, while provoking conversation. The products have been sourced, and designed. The website is nearly completed and the LLC is formed. This money would be used to market the clothing on all social media platforms and finally launch the brand, where a percentage of the proceeds will go to feeding the homeless, providing them clothes, and other initiatives. Make no mistake about it, I am still looking to secure a job with benefits for my children and my former wife, this is my priority because I know that this little business will take time to flourish.

In closing, please know that I deeply appreciate those of you who took the time to read this. I am super grateful for any donations. This site is a blessing, regardless of my outcome and I am so grateful that it even exist at all.

May God Bless you all!
