To whom it may concern,
I hope this letter finds you well. My name is Gary, and I am writing to you today with a humble request for financial assistance. I find myself in a challenging situation that I never could have anticipated, and I’m reaching out for support in my time of need.
In June of 2021, my career as an over-the-road truck driver took an unexpected turn. My wife and I were involved in a devastating accident on Interstate 40 east of Kingman, AZ. A taxi cab abruptly slowed down in front of our truck, leaving us with little time to react. Despite my best efforts, our truck collided with the taxi, setting off a chain reaction that resulted in a tragic loss of life.
I want to emphasize that I was completely exonerated of any fault in this accident, and a thorough investigation confirmed this fact. However, the aftermath of the accident was a challenging ordeal. While our truck sustained minimal damage, it spent nearly a year in the shop for repairs, leaving me with no source of income during that time.
The emotional toll of the accident became evident when I was diagnosed with PTSD. I have been undergoing therapy since then, and it remains an ongoing process. This, along with mounting bills and truck payments, forced me to seek alternative employment. I accepted a position as the transportation director for a local school district, but regrettably, the job’s excessive stress recently led to my resignation.
In addition to the emotional and psychological toll, my physical health has also been affected by the stress I’ve endured. Earlier this year, I was hospitalized with Atrial Tachycardia, and I am now on medication to manage this condition. The combination of these challenges has led to a significant decrease in my income and financial stability.
Moreover, my wife’s health has been a matter of great concern. She contracted COVID-19 after our accident and faced a severe battle with the virus, almost losing her life. Since then, she has been dealing with ongoing health issues that require continuous medical attention and care. Her condition further emphasizes my need to remain closer to home during these trying times.
Despite receiving a settlement related to the accident, the compensation was far less than the amount I had claimed, leaving me with limited resources. I have outstanding medical bills for both myself and my wife, as well as a loan from a friend that I am struggling to repay.
Throughout my life, I have always been passionate about flying drones and photography. It has been a source of joy and solace for me, and I now aspire to turn this passion into a small, home-based drone photography business. However, due to my financial circumstances, I lack the necessary funds to invest in this endeavor.
I am reaching out to you today in the hope that you might consider assisting me on my journey to start this business. Your support could help me turn my passion into a means of sustainable income, allowing me to regain financial stability and repay my debts.
I understand that times are challenging for many, and your consideration of my request means the world to me. I am more than willing to provide any necessary documentation or information to verify my situation and intentions.
Thank you for taking the time to read my letter. Your kindness and generosity would be a lifeline for me during this difficult period.
