**Support Ray Schneider in Overcoming Homelessness**
Hello, my name is Ray Schneider, and I’m reaching out to you in a time of immense need. My journey has been fraught with challenges, but I have always strived to rise above them and build a better life. Today, I find myself in dire straits and am humbly asking for your support.
I am 40 years old and have a past that I am not proud of. In my younger years, I made poor decisions that resulted in a criminal record with 21 felony charges. However, for many years now, I have been drug-free and have committed no further offenses. I have worked tirelessly to turn my life around.
After my turbulent youth, I moved to Oklahoma, where I met my wife, and we started a new chapter together. I established a successful oilfield staffing firm, owning 100% of the business. Through hard work and dedication, I was able to create a thriving company and provide for my family. Unfortunately, my life took an unexpected turn when my wife filed for divorce while I was out of state for work. This unforeseen event left me shattered and caused me to lose everything I had built.
In my efforts to rebuild my life, I moved back to Washington State. However, fate struck again when I was rear-ended by a big rig semi traveling at 80mph in a 60mph zone. The accident destroyed the remaining property I had and left me with severe nerve damage, requiring two surgeries on both wrists. This series of unfortunate events has left me homeless and struggling to find stability.
I am determined to overcome these obstacles, but I cannot do it alone. I am humbly asking for your financial support to help me get back on my feet. Your generous contributions will go towards securing stable housing, covering medical expenses, and providing the basic necessities as I work towards rebuilding my life.
Thank you for taking the time to read my story. Your kindness and support mean the world to me. Together, we can make a difference and help me find a path to stability and hope.
With gratitude,
Ray Schneider
