Hello All. My name is Jason and I am a 45 year old recently divorced father of twin 8 year olds, one which has Down syndrome. I was married to my high school crush for 17 years and recently went out separate ways. I wanted to keep the kids grounded through the situation so I bought the house out from her as this was their only home they have known. We are amicable and want everything to be about the children! My ex was the bread winner for many of those 17 years, although we both had decent jobs, going from two incomes to one has become a challenge as well as the mounting bills incurred by my sons physical therapy sessions. I truly do not want to go down this road asking for help but I also want my children to know their father does anything and will continue to do anything for them. Life has always thrown me curveballs and I do my best with a smile on my face. At 29 I lost my father to a massive heart attack. He was my rock, my best friend and was the one who taught me to never give up and work hard. Fast forward 16 years and I am praying he hears my needs for my children. Two years ago I lost my grandmother(my fathers mom). She was my sounding board when things got tough. I spent countless hours visiting with her soon after dad passed away. We laughed, cried, sat in silence and ate way too many cookies. She was my #2!! I looked up to that 96 year old woman as she had seen more than anyone I know. Her wisdom and love of family is what I strive to accomplish in life. In conclusion, I ask you please find it in your heart to consider a donation for us to live the life I know my father wants his son and grand kids to have. Thank you for you time reading this.
Jason
