Help Kenny Munn Rebuild His Life

Hello World!
My name is Kenny Munn. I am 42 years old, and I am about to come home from Federal prison after 8 years. I am extremely worried about how much the world has changed, and I am also a bit concerned about being able to get prepared enough to give myself a fair and honest chance to succeed in this rapidly changing world.
One problem is the way that I look. One look at all my tattoos would give most people enough of a reason to hide their wallets rather than search for it to help. It’s okay. I get it. Appearances mean a lot to some. I’m even used to the side eye glances that I often get.
Most establishments can’t have some guy with prison tatts representing their company. Hey, I get it. As I’ve gotten older and more mature I realized that I needed to man up and do everything that I could, while in here, in order to give myself a fair shot to be successful. So, things for me got serious.
I studied hard, and I passed my GED on the first try, and only with a GED could I enter the vocational training programs offered in Federal prison. I chose HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning), and I can’t even begin to explain how much I love it. I wish I would’ve started this path much earlier in my life.
Here is the main problem I have about releasing: I’m having to relocate states. I now have to go to a state where I know no one. Pennsylvania. That’s okay. Like I said, I’m older. I’ve matured a ton, and I am extremely motivated. But a person can only handle so many “no’s” and rejections, which is what led me in here. However, I refuse to live like this any longer. I’m not one to ask for help, but I’ve learned today that I must be realistic. So, I must swallow my pride and ask for some help. I’m not asking for an arm and a leg; just an honest chance to make it.
I know that $5000 isn’t even close to what I really need. HVAC tools are not cheap. But I figure $1500 for a semi-reliable truck. $2000 to love into a little one room apartment. And $1500 to get insurance, some food, utilities, a few must have tools, clothes, and a sleeping bag. Anything beyond the bare minimum I know I’ll be able to get once the paychecks start coming. Even if I can only get a vehicle, it still helps to give me a real chance. And that’s all I’m asking for: a real shot at making it.
All-in-all, I just want to make HVAC, my life, and America Great Again! I’m also not asking for free money. If you leave a name and contact info, over time, I would do my best to pay back what you’ve all shared with me.
God Bless and Thank You.
P.S. if by chance, there is more money than my request, I have two children and a grand baby. I would use any extra for them to visit me because it’s been 8 years (8 years!) since I’ve seen them.
