Dear kind people,
I am writing to you to request some financial assistance due to being out of work because of a serious injury. I am a single father of two children, aged 6 and 9, and I am struggling to pay the bills that are behind and piling up, as well as putting food on the table. I am at my wits end and I don’t know what to do.
I was working as a construction worker until last month, when I fell from a scaffold and broke my leg. The fall was very bad and I had to undergo surgery to fix the fractures. I am still recovering at home and I have to wear a cast and use crutches. The doctor said it will take at least three months for me to heal completely.
Because of my injury, I have no income and no savings. I have been living paycheck to paycheck for a long time and I have no financial cushion. I have exhausted all my options for borrowing money from friends and family, but they are also struggling financially. I have no other source of support or help.
I have applied for various government programs that may help me pay for food, housing, health care, and other basic living expenses . However, these programs take time to process and approve, and they may not cover all my needs. For example, I have to pay for alimony, which isn’t included in these programs. I also have to pay for transportation costs, such as gas and car insurance, which are essential for me to get to medical appointments and pick up my children from school.
I am asking you for any amount of financial help that you can spare. It would make a huge difference in my life and my children’s lives. They deserve a better future than this. They are good kids who do well in school and have big dreams. They don’t understand why we are going through this hardship.
I am not looking for a handout, but a hand up. I am eager to get back to work as soon as possible and become self-sufficient again. I have always been a hard-working and responsible person who takes pride in providing for my family. This injury was an unfortunate accident that could have happened to anyone.
Thank you for your consideration and generosity.
Sincerely,
Single Dad with kids.
