Dear supporter,
I have never asked anyone for money, so this is a very difficult thing for me to do. I feel uncomfortable even writing this request. I would not say that I am flat on my face, but I am beginning to feel a bit financially constrained. Recently I had decided to start my own business, and the startup costs are becoming more than I anticipated. On top of that there are a few family members that depend on me when they are in a bind. Recently my uncle was in the hospital because he had an accident while working with a tool, so his hand is in a sling, and he will not be able to get any income for a few weeks. I had to send him some money to cover his expenses. My savings are starting to get depleted because I do not like to be in debt, so I did not take out a loan to start the business. I have my own expenses to cover, and I feel so pressured to handle my affairs as well as to try and help my family. I am also frustrated because my capacity is limited, and I cannot get to assist in the way that I would like with all that is needed. It is taking a toll on me. I try not to complain or let them know how burdened I feel. If something happens to me, I must help myself because no one else can help me. I am my own contingency plan. I just want to be able to be there for my family and take care of my obligations without fear of my account going to zero.
I want to get my business off the ground, but it is not completely set-up, and I am already incurring recurring expenses. The paycheck that I get goes towards covering expenses of the business as well as other expenses such as rent, insurance, etc. I do not get to put away much to an emergency fund. I am seeking $150,000 to build and grow my business, and a part of it will be used to pay rent and the expenses of my family. This funding will carry the business a long way. I do appreciate in advance the kind generosity, and every cent will be put to good use.
