“It’s an unfortunate truth that there are many wonderfully talented and artistic people in this world that we will never hear from because they are too busy just surviving.” – anonymous internet post.
My name is Josh, I’m 36 and have lived something of a storied life, I’m a semi-retired professional stunt man and fire performer. While there are lots of stories that lead me to that point, I met my beautiful wife Sam while working for the circus which changed the direction of my life forever so for time’s sake this story starts here.
We have had many amazing memories traveling and performing, while the money wasn’t amazing it was enough. During COVID circus performers nearly went extinct. While we still perform we had to take other jobs, namely in the service industry. Needless to say “death defying feats” doesn’t translate to many opportunities.
Fast forward a cpl years we were doing pretty well. So I decided to go into real estate. I wanted to help people going through foreclosure. Which might sound easier than it actually is. With market uncertainty widespread my business is underwater. I managed to help a couple and it was an amazing feeling to be able to do so being self-taught with no prior experience. But I’ve accrued a ton of debt trying to help people. My bartending job that used to pay well has also suffered under the weight of inflation and this recession.
The financial burdens we have from our dream wedding and starting a business have crippled us. We both work very hard and get seem to get out from under the weight of mounting debts. My beautiful talented wife is depressed that had to leave her dream job of teaching kids aerial circus arts. Worse than that we received an eviction notice. First one I’ve ever gotten. We need help. We have about $20k in debt. We would love to get back to a manageable level of debt and start moving forward with our lives. But no matter how long and hard we work we have no time for each other and matters keep getting worse.
Please help me save my marriage and allow us to go back to performing and my wife to go back to teaching kids and helping them find their passions.
