To whomever sees this and finds it in their heart to help,
I hope this message finds you in good health and high spirits. I am reaching out to you today with a humble plea for assistance during one of the most difficult periods of my life. My journey over the past decade has been riddled with hardships, and I find myself at a crossroads once again, desperately in need of support to overcome the overwhelming challenges I face.
It all started in 2012 when my world was turned upside down by a devastating divorce. Left alone with a house, with several rescue pets, on the verge of foreclosure, I summoned every ounce of strength and determination to navigate through this dire situation. However, the burdens kept piling up as, in 2013, both of my parents required care due to their declining health. Balancing the demands of my small home-based business and taking care of my ailing parents became an arduous juggling act. Despite the financial strain, I managed to keep things afloat, tirelessly attending to their needs, from preparing meals and managing medications to countless doctor appointments and more.
The year 2017 brought me the unbearable loss of my father, amplifying the difficulties in my life. My mother’s health deteriorated, leading to numerous hospital visits and additional responsibilities managing her affairs. Fast forward to 2020, and the global pandemic hit us all like a wrecking ball. My business crumbled, and if it weren’t for the stimulus support and an SBA loan, I would have been left in dire straits. Unfortunately, the promised return to normalcy has eluded me, and I continue to struggle to make ends meet.
With just five clients remaining from the thirty I once served, I had no choice but to take on a second job and seek assistance for food and utilities. Grateful as I am for the lifeline these resources provided, they barely scratch the surface of the mounting financial obligations I face. I am currently burdened with a leaky roof, lack of transportation due to a non-functioning car, and a looming $6,000 debt to the SBA. Moreover, my negotiated payment plan for the electric bill is falling short, while credit card bills and a water bill compound my mounting debts.
I am not here to ask for a handout but rather a helping hand to bridge the gap between this desperate moment and the resurgence of stability in my life. I am in the early stages of building an online business, but progress has been slow due to the immense demands of caring for my mother. The funds I am seeking, $2000 will alleviate the immediate financial strain and provide a safety net during this critical juncture. ie. some bills for a couple of months, food for my pets are the most important to me.
Your generosity and benevolence would provide me with a glimmer of hope and the breathing space I need to regain my footing. With your support, I can focus on nurturing my online business, securing a stable income, and eventually paying it forward to others in need. I yearn for the day when I can extend my hand to someone else facing similar struggles, just as you have done for me.
Thank you for taking the time to read my heartfelt request. Your consideration means the world to me, and I remain forever grateful for any assistance you can offer. May you continue to bring light and relief to those who find themselves in the darkest of times.
With heartfelt appreciation,
