I’m a 39-year-old single father doing everything I can to provide for my child while I’m between jobs. Bills are past due, the fridge is running low, and I’m worried about losing the stability we’ve worked so hard to keep. Any help right now would go directly toward rent, utilities, and basic necessities until I can get back on my feet. Your kindness could be the reason we make it through this difficult time.

Life has a way of testing us in moments when we feel the least prepared. My name is Sinclair, and I’m doing my best to raise my child alone. I’ve always been the type to push through, work hard, and find solutions without asking for help. But this time, despite all my efforts, I’ve reached a point where I can no longer do it alone.

The job I was counting on recently fell through unexpectedly. I had planned my bills and expenses around that income, and without it, I’ve quickly fallen behind. My rent is due, my power bill is already past its due date, and I’m stretching what little I have left to make sure my child has food and basic necessities. Every day, I wake up with a mix of determination and worry, wondering how I’ll keep us afloat until I can secure another source of income.

I’ve been applying for jobs every day, attending interviews when I can, and even looking into side work just to bring in anything possible. But bills don’t wait for opportunities to arrive. My fear is that, without some help, I could lose the little stability we have left. I can handle going without, but my biggest fear is letting my child down or having them experience hardships they don’t deserve.

I’m not asking for luxury or comfort — just enough to cover the essentials while I get back on my feet. Any donation would go directly toward paying overdue bills and ensuring that we have the basics covered for the next few weeks.

From the Bottom of My Heart, Thank You

If you’ve read this far, I want you to know how much that alone means to me. Every contribution is more than just money — it’s a reminder that my child and I are not alone in this fight. Your support will give us hope, stability, and the chance to move toward a brighter tomorrow.

Back in March 2023, I came home from work to a gut punch I never saw coming. My wife of five years—my partner for nearly fifteen years—was gone. She left our marriage, leaving me and our two beautiful daughters behind. Those girls, they’re my everything, but that moment marked the start of a brutal journey that’s tested every ounce of my strength. The divorce wasn’t just a heartbreak; it was a financial and emotional earthquake. Legal fees piled up fast, draining savings I’d worked years to build. The worst part? The relentless custody battles over our daughters. My ex-wife has put us through a magnitude of issues, dragging us into court time and again to challenge custody. She’s made it her mission to disrupt our lives, and each fight has chipped away at me. Most recently, she kept my girls from me for twenty-five days—over Father’s Day, no less—because of her own personal reasons. Those days without them were agony, like part of my soul was missing. But I fought back in court, pouring everything I had into it, and won. My daughters are now on a stable custody schedule, and that victory is my lifeline. They’re safe with me, and I’ll never stop fighting to keep it that way. But the cost of these battles has been devastating. I’ve lost so much—my savings, my stability, and parts of myself I’m still trying to find. I’ve poured every penny and every bit of energy into giving my daughters a home filled with love. We’ve lived in our rental for over five years, a place where my girls have grown, laughed, and built memories. It’s not just a house; it’s our sanctuary. But now, even that’s at risk. Last month, I was fifteen days late on rent, scrambling to keep the lights on. My electric bill is on the verge of being shut off again. It feels like I’ve climbed a mountain, clawed my way to the top, only to get knocked back down just as I’m about to reach solid ground. There’s no one here to catch me, and I’m running out of strength to keep fighting alone. I’m trying so hard to stay positive, but I know that God has a plan and I do trust in that. At the end of the day, I’m simply just a devoted father,  who’s given everything to protect my girls.

I’m not asking for a handout—I’m asking for a hand up. Any support you can offer will help us keep our home, keep the lights on, and give my girls the stability they deserve. This is our safe place, their safe place, please help me keep this for them.  From the bottom of my heart, thank you for listening and for any help you can give. May god bless you!

I am 63 with two children. 18 and 13 son and daugther. 2021 was a particularly stressful. Covid and starting a new carreear as a Chef and dealing with the mother that has mental illness. I had to get a restraining order against her. I packed up the kids and we stayed where ever we could. I also drove to make ends meet. I have used up most of any assistance that was available for our situation. The goal was to take a job seasonal to save up enough to move because my funding ran out on the place were at now. It was a 2 year program and after 18 months we are having to leave at the end of August. Moreover I have COPD and am know longer cooking. I have one skill left I can apply to maintain storage unit food and transportation. I have always provided for my children and am humbled even doing this. I will have $2000 dollars at Augusts end. My son is currently looking for full time employment and I am working on some short term goals on some kind of delivery services I can provide as long as my vehical holds out. I would like to be more informative though I believe I covered the major points. Homeless in under two months. A son that can work along with my income we will never give up or give in. Blessings and Peace.  www.https://www.paypal.me/JohnAless

Hello. I’m a single Dad going through a rough patch. I just got divorced after a 2-year legal battle with my now ex-wife. She made flagrant motions and accused me of Domestic Violence in order to strengthen her case against me. The charges were dropped and found to be meritless.

I don’t have anything left after the legal fees, and the dividing of assets. I have been asking family for help but, there is only so many resources they have to help me. It pains me to ask for help. I was raised with the idea that you take care of your own business.  I feel like a failure to my children and that I have let them down.

Work has been slow for me as my work is kind of seasonal in nature. I am doing my best to get more work hours, and seeking more options to get money in the door.

I pay child-support to my ex in the amount of 1200.00 and my rent for a two bedroom 950 sq ft apartment is 2500.00. I take my children to McDonalds when I get them back, and the rest of the time I am making something in the crockpot.  When my children are away, I am eating cereal or Braunschweiger on a cracker.  I don’t drink, I don’t smoke, I don’t do drugs. I am a guy who did everything he was told to do to be successful in life. Unfortunately, life had other plans for me.

I love my children so much and they are the ones that keep me holding on to hope. I need to be strong for them and continue to fight for their sake.  I am their protector and take that role seriously.  They are innocent and don’t ask for any of this in their lives and I am working hard to provide a better future for them. Every day I work on their handwriting and phonics, as they have been struggling in school as a result of the disruption from the divorce.

Thank you and I appreciate you taking the time to read my story.

I am a single father doing everything I can to protect and provide for my two children Emma, 7 and Caleb, 4. Not long ago, I had a steady job as a delivery driver and a modest apartment. But when the company I worked for downsized, I was let go. With no extended family to rely on and rent prices soaring, I quickly found myself unable to keep up.

Now, I and my two kids sleep in my car most nights, parked in safe areas when we can find them. I keep a small box of food and essentials tucked in the trunk, and use public restrooms to wash up before taking the kids to school. I make sure Emma and Caleb are clean, fed, and smiling because I refuse to let them feel the full weight of what they’re going through.

Despite these unimaginable challenges, I haven’t given up. I’m actively searching for work, applying for housing assistance, and doing everything in my power to give my children a better life.

What I need now is a hand up, not a handout.

Your donation can help me and my family move into temporary housing, access job placement programs, and get the resources we need to rebuild. Every dollar counts. Every act of kindness matters.

Donate $15,000 today to help me give my children a safe place to call home.

Hello, and thank you for taking a moment to read my story.

My name is Mitch, and I never imagined I’d find myself in a position where I’d have to publicly ask for help — let alone on a platform like this. But life has a way of humbling us, and today, I’m here with an open heart, hoping for a hand up, not a handout.

I’m a single father of two beautiful children — my oldest is 8, full of energy and dreams, and my youngest is turning 3 on June 8th, a joyful spirit who lights up every room. They are my world, my purpose, and the reason I wake up every morning determined to push forward no matter how hard life gets.

I work full-time delivering for a vending company, doing everything I can to provide a stable life for my kids. But despite my best efforts, I’m in one of the hardest seasons of my life. Financially, I’m overwhelmed. The debt I’ve accumulated while trying to stay afloat — while trying to be both mom and dad, provider and protector — has become a wall I can’t climb alone.

To be honest, it’s more than just debt. It’s a weight that has made it hard to breathe some days. My expenses have outgrown my income, and no matter how carefully I budget, something always comes up — whether it’s groceries, bills, a doctor’s appointment, or just life’s unpredictable curveballs. It’s been a constant struggle to stay above water, and lately, I’ve felt like I’m drowning.

One of the most heartbreaking moments I’ve ever lived through happened not too long ago. During an Easter egg hunt with our kids, my cousin collapsed from a heart attack right in front of us and died in my arms. It was a moment that changed me forever. In the aftermath, I took out a loan to help cover his funeral costs, not thinking twice. He was family, and I couldn’t let his children go without a proper goodbye.

I’m also a veteran of the National Guard. I’ve served my country, and I’ve tried to serve my family and community with the same dedication. I once pursued a career in real estate, and though I found some success, the changing market and the costs of staying licensed became too much to bear. I had to step away — another dream put on pause.

I’m not looking for pity. I’m simply asking for an opportunity to break free from this financial quicksand. With $20,000, I could pay off the debt that’s holding me back, rebuild my credit, and finally be in a position to buy a home for my kids and give them the safety and security they deserve. I have business ideas I’ve mapped out, ready to bring to life once I have solid ground under my feet.

This help would not be wasted. I promise to turn this blessing into a story of perseverance, redemption, and success. Your support will not only impact my life but will shape the future of two innocent children who believe in their dad and I refuse to let them down.

If you feel moved to help, know that you are not just giving money — you are giving hope, stability, and a second chance. Thank you for reading my story. Whether you donate or simply send a prayer our way, I’m deeply grateful.

God bless you.

— Mitch

It’s hard enough to juggle the responsibilities of being a single parent, but imagine adding the weight of caring for elderly parents while navigating a painful divorce and the sudden loss of your livelihood. That’s my reality, a 40-year-old father who has dedicated his life to his family. After 20 years of loyal service, my job vanished when the company I worked for dissolved, leaving me struggling to pay the mortgage on the home where my 4-year-old and elderly parents live. I am facing a mountain of bills and an uncertain future. I’ve always been the one to provide; now, I need your support while I rebuild my life and search for new opportunities. Please rally around me and help ease the burden of providing for my family during this incredibly difficult time. Your donation will provide a beacon of hope, a chance for a fresh start, and the security we need to get back on our feet. Thank you

Why I Need Help

My story’s nothing special. It’s the same one you’ve heard a hundred times.

I got rid of everything to try and build a life with the mother of my daughter. We moved in together. Merged finances. Took on debt to make it work. I was all in. She wasn’t. To what extent she ran around with other men, I’ll probably never know, and honestly, it doesn’t even matter anymore. What I do know is my daughter is mine, without a doubt.

Now I’m left picking up the pieces. I’m in debt, a one-year-old daughter, and a mountain of bills that don’t care how hard I work or how much I try to hold everything together. I’m working full time and doing the best I can, but I’m stuck in that spot where I make just enough to disqualify me from help and not enough to get ahead. It’s slow motion drowning.

Reasons You Might Find Me Worthy of Help

I’m a veteran. I’ve got the DD-214 to prove it.

I work full time. I’m not looking for a way out of responsibility, just a little help catching up. I’m not asking because I’m lazy or unwilling to fight through it. I’m asking because I’ve been fighting through it, every damn day, and I’m getting tired. It’s not that I want a handout. I want a lifeline.

I’m not trying to impress anyone or pretend I’ve got it worse than everybody else. I’m just one guy trying to give his daughter a better future.

Reasons You Might Think I Don’t Deserve It

I have a job. I’m not homeless. I have a roof over our heads and food in the fridge.

But somehow, that puts me in no-man’s-land. I make too much to qualify for aid, but not enough to actually survive without borrowing from tomorrow. I’m stuck. And I’m not the only one. There’s a whole crowd of us just out of reach of help, slowly sinking while everyone assumes we’re doing fine.

So yeah, I might not look like someone who needs help. But looks are only skin deep.

What I’d Do With Your Help

First thing, I’d take a breath. The kind of breath you only get when you’re no longer being crushed by interest, late fees, and collection notices. I’d start clearing out the debt that’s eating me alive one payment at a time. If by some miracle enough help came in to get me caught up or even ahead, I’d start a 529 plan for my daughter. I’d give her the start I never had.

I know there are others with harder stories and heavier burdens. I’m not here to compare pain. I’m just here to ask, if something in my story speaks to you, would you consider helping?

Even if you don’t, thank you for reading. That alone means more than you know.
