My Dad passed away and I need help
Donation protected
Hi. I'm Chris Colman. Some of you coming here might know me as 321Continue online or as the owner of Saved You A Click Video Games. I'm here to ask for your help in helping me get back on my feet after losing my Dad, Martin Colman, on the morning of January 28th 2021.
Unfortunately, when I woke up that morning my dad wasn't doing too well as he had had a cold for a week or two prior. When I went to give him water he went into cardiac arrest (as the paramedics told me) and I tried to save him. When the paramedics arrived they spent 30 minutes trying to bring him back.
I was his caretaker and I failed him. Now I'm here. My job was to take care of him and he's gone. I have some money saved up but it's not enough, especially now having to search for a job in this climate, taking over his bills and trying to bring everything back to normal.
I know I wasn't planned. I was a surprise. But even though he wasn't ready, he raised me and loved me so much. Even after all these years, after moving across cities and states multiple times he still, even up until death never regretted having me and he made it clear.
I know $8,000 is a lot to ask for. I just turned 18 on the 8th and have no one else near here to go to. I have rent, food, phone, internet and a storage unit to pay for now. This $8,000 is enough to help me last for 4 or so months so.
I can get everything essential in storage moved to a smaller unit, change my phone carrier to something cheaper in that time and hopefully get a job and get back on my feet in that time.
Life is rough for everyone right now, and I want to say thanks for all the help I can get.
Also, I'm sorry there are no recent photos of me and him. I hated having photos taken of me and now that he's gone I resent my attitude and that I don't have anything of me and him currently.
