My name is Todd. My wife Amy and I could really use some help.
I’d first like to state that we’re very creative people both personally and professionally, we love what we do, and enjoy exploring the limits of our potential. We’re both very active and take good care of ourselves. We have so much that we are grateful for and our efforts are geared toward growth and longevity being a positive force in our little world.
Over the past 27 years I’ve built a solid reputation for myself professionally. I have quite a diverse and highly practical skill set, and as I have moved through my career, I have found enrichment in encouraging and growing the next generation of leaders in my field. I work hard at this and am very satisfied professionally.
Amy is an artist with an amazing creativity that is driven by a love for nature and particularly birds. She has spent her life making the world a more beautiful place. When she’s not creating original works of art she works for an interior designer and stages homes. A few years ago, she started picking up shifts in one of the local restaurants to supplement her earnings while grounding herself in our local community.
Amy and I are empty nesters now and we live a very busy, but simple life. I love to cook, so I make most of our meals. We walk the dogs together in the afternoons, and on weekends I build projects in the garage (many are bird feeders to serve Amy’s passion). Amy spends most of her free time painting and sculpting, and she loves to garden.
The point is, we genuinely appreciate our lives and we’re grateful for all that we have.
Where it is not ideal though, and what we need help to change, is the “death by 1000 cuts”financial situation we’re in.
We’re on a treadmill of earning for debt repayment that has no end. I’m working 50 hours a week and Amy is working about the same between her two different jobs.
We have a combined high interest debt of about $60k in addition to our mortgage and no way to save for retirement and no safety net for emergencies.
We are hoping to find generous people who can help us get out from under this debt burden.
With some help clearing the past debt, we could become truly sustainable and pivot our focus from constantly worrying about financial hemorrhaging to saving for our future.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read this. Just the fact that you’re here says so much about your heart and your empathetic drive. People like you are what this world needs most.
