Please help me obtain a stable future <3
God bless you all.
Hey guys, it's Ashton, as many of you know I've had a hard couple of months. I'm not one to complain especially since so I'm so thankful to be alive and to be able to see my wife, family, and friends who have supported me so much through this, I thank God for them on a whole nother level.
Although I've been trying my hardest the past few months, disability pay has never come to this point and I have really been so blessed to have received the very generous donations that I have because that is what I've been living off of, I can't thank you all enough seriously God bless you guys.
My largest concern right now in life is that although I am still hired at my part time warehouse job (which because of part time I couldn't get unemployment) I am worried that I may not be able to return to the labor-intensive work I did there before my neck broke, which included unloading 75ft semis single handedly, which are full of 1400 pound couches from top to bottom. And that worry leads to other problems such as a fear for being able to get hired due to the fact that I will have holes in my face and may come off intimidating to people.
I could really use some help from my community right now, so that I can afford a down-payment and make my beautiful fiance the happiest girl in the world by being able to move us out of a very dangerous apartment complex, which had a lot more gang activity than I am comfortable leaving my precious wife home around when I previously would go to work at 5am. I am quite scared for my future financialy because now that I am disabled I cannot phycially afford to be living in an environment where I feel like I have to defend myself and my wife constantly, and wake up to drug addicts banging on my door at 3am, I would love to be in a safe place where I can sleep at night without having one eye open, and checking my locks five times a day.
I can use all the love I get right now, all your guys support has made such a difference in my well being, whether it's been letters, prayers, donations, social media messages filled with kindness, or just treating me as I am a normal person even though my appearance is a bit jarring. Thank you all so much, every penny means more to me right now than It has ever meant to me in my life, and I am forever thankful for that.
