Help David Harnish Rebuild His Life
Donation protected
Gentleman,
Life has been tough these past 6 months. I've been caught up in a storm and I'm almost out, but I need help. A have made a lot of mistakes in my life, but I have also gotten screwed over a lot in ways that seem unfair, but that is the way things go sometimes.
1. On November 3rd, 2023, I was let go from my 5 year career as an Orthopedic Medical device rep. I was discriminated against by my manager after I called one of my hospitals out for medical fraud and operating in a way that harmed patients.
2. I moved to Austin after this to live with a Special Forces "friend," because he was depressed during the holidays and I wanted to help him and keep him company so he was not alone. He told me we thought about ending it all. This move and relationship ended with him hitting my dog and selling all of my personal belonging on Facebook Market Place
3. I spent my last dime setting up a distributorship for my own Brothers paint company because he recruited me to do so and he pulled the plug right before I was supposed to start. Never paid me.
4. I have applied for over 100 jobs an I made it down the 3rd and 4th round for 6 different positions, but never got the final call.
5. I humbled myself greatly, and picked up a moving truck job making $20 an hour and I just got my first paycheck, to which they messed up my hours an only paid me 1/2 of what I was supposed to be compensated.
There's good news...
1. I have a great sales job lined up in Tampa, FL that I was referred to by one of our SF brethren, Mike Ralston, whom was in 3rd Group. He has opened up his home to me to give me the opportunity to dig myself out of this overwhelming financial burden so I can get back up on feet.
The problem...
I can't afford to get out there, nor do I make enough money moving people furniture to cover my rent, which is a lease I have already submitted to break. This has come down to fighting against becoming homeless and being able to feed myself.
I don't think I deserve anything or that any of you owe me anything. That said, I am reaching out to you guys because I don't know what other options I have and I'm deathly afraid of becoming homeless and stuck in poverty. I am so close to getting out of this. It is my hope, that no matter how long it has been that you guys know who I was and know that I was a man that would fight and take a bullet for each and every one of you. I know I am not the only one stretched thin at this time, but if you can help, this is the time in my life where I may really need it the most. I don't know when or how I will be able to pay you back, but all generosity shown to me, will be paid forward in full one day. That is who I am.
I am an open book and will answer any questions with pure honesty. Maybe this is not ideal, but is still a good opportunity to get to know each other again and learn who we've become.
