Eric and Daughter - help to move and survive

Hello everyone,

My name is Eric and I am writing this to seek assistance and support for myself and my daughter to move into a new place, living expenses, and if possible help with my financial hardship.

To be transparent for everyone reading this, I created a GoFundMe that raised $1,050 AUD previously regarding family, mental health and support, however I was forced to take it down by my parents. I obeyed and listened as I have childhood trauma that lives on to this day with them. I want to live my true self and be myself, so I decided to create this GoFundMe.

I am a recently separated husband in November 2023, wife of 3 years and a relationship of 9 years. I have spent my last dollar to help my ex wife to set up her apartment to ensure that my daughter has a home to live in that is safe for her growth. It is so sad writing this as it is 2 days from my daughter's 3rd birthday, as she is born on Christmas Day and I have no ability to help her myself, nor can I help myself right now financially.

I have mental health issues that developed throughout my life (trauma, depression, episodic anxiety and slight borderline personality disorder) which drove me to where I am now, beginning from childhood trauma at 4, being drowned at the age of 7 by a family friend, and being bullied and threatened since I was a child, whether it was from parents, school friends and no support from teachers even when I had an accident (pants wise) - this has led me to be a person that can't ask for help, not from anyone as I am afraid of consequences, until now.

I also have severe financial hardship more than $80k AUD from my past to avoid the reality of where I lived with my parents. Now at 31, I cannot do it anymore. It has severely worsened my mental health, relying on medication every time I see or engage or hear from them.

On the bright side, I am trying my very best in life to bring the best and most safe future for my most important person in the world, my daughter. I am learning new skills everyday to hopefully one day build a few things, a business, write a book on mental health awareness, and create a non-profit organization for mental health awareness - as to me, I truly believe that many people that need help, don't have the ability to ask for it like me.

I sincerely appreciate each and everyone of you that has taken time to read my story. Even if there is no donation, I still appreciate that you have read my story.

I hope that everyone has a very safe Christmas with your loved ones.

Thank you.

Eric
