To Whomever Can Help,
I never imagined I’d be in a position where I’d have to write a letter like this, but life has taken some heartbreaking and unexpected turns.
Not long ago, I was hospitalized with severe COVID pneumonia and given only a 50/50 chance of survival. While I was fighting for my life, my 83-year-old mother, whom I was caring for, also fell ill with the same thing. Tragically, she passed away a week later. I remained in the hospital for over a month, and even after being discharged, I was still very sick and dependent on oxygen.
During this time, I lost my job and the home I shared with my mother. Selling the house barely covered the remaining mortgage and debts, leaving me with nothing. I have since used up all my savings and credit, sold most of my belongings, and am struggling to find stable work while still dealing with the long-term effects of my illness and the grief of losing my mom. I’m a single dad with 2 kids, and I’m having hard time providing for them. I’m running out of options.
I am reaching out because I truly need help to get back on my feet. Any amount, no matter how small, would mean the world to me. If you’re unable to give, simply sharing my story or keeping me in your thoughts would also be deeply appreciated.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for reading this and for any kindness you can extend. I hope one day I can pay it forward.
With gratitude,
