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.
