Almost homeless

Hey everyone, I’m Alex, and I’m reaching out in a moment of profound desperation. My heart is heavy as I share my story with you, hoping for a glimmer of hope in this dark time. Like many young people, I’ve made my share of mistakes, but the weight of my situation feels unbearable.

After running away from home, I found myself facing a mountain of debt—debt that isn’t just my own. It stems from my parents’ financial struggles, all placed in my name. I didn’t know how to manage it, and because I couldn’t keep up with the fees, that debt has multiplied over and over again, leaving me trapped in a cycle I can’t seem to escape.

I’ve already faced the nightmare of eviction once, and now I stand on the brink of losing everything again. It’s terrifying to think about being without a place to call home. I work two jobs during the week and one on the weekends, pouring every ounce of energy I have into making ends meet. Yet, despite my relentless efforts, the bills and penalties keep piling on, and it feels like I’m suffocating under the weight of it all.

A friend suggested I start this fund, hoping for a spark of kindness from others. I know asking for help is a big deal, and it’s not easy for me to put myself out there like this. But I’m at my wit's end, and I’m scared. I’m just a 23-year-old trying to navigate a world that feels increasingly overwhelming.

I’m not asking for much—just a chance to catch my breath, to regain some stability, and to reclaim my life before it all slips away. If you can find it in your heart to help, I promise to use every bit of support to pull myself back from the edge. Your generosity could mean the world to me.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story. I sincerely hope that none of you ever have to endure the kind of struggle I’m facing right now. Every little bit counts, and I’m grateful for any support you can provide.
