Struggling — Just Trying to Keep My Home

Donation protected
Hi everyone,

My name is Jose. This is one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to write, but I’m in a place where I truly need help.
A close family member of mine was recently murdered. Losing them in such a tragic and violent way has shattered me. I’ve been trying to stay strong, but the emotional toll has been overwhelming—and the financial burden that followed has made things even harder.
I had to help cover funeral costs I wasn’t prepared for, and now I’ve fallen behind on rent and bills. I live alone, so it’s all on me—and I’m doing everything I can to catch up, but right now I’m drowning.
I’m asking for $10,000 to help me stay in my home, keep the lights on, and have some breathing room while I try to heal. I know that’s a lot, and I know everyone’s going through their own struggles—so please know that no one is obligated to give. But if you’re able to donate anything, even a small amount, it would mean more than I can put into words.
Even just sharing this helps. I’m trying to hold onto hope, and knowing there are kind people out there who care gives me strength.
Thank you for reading. Thank you for being here. And thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for any support you can offer.

Hola a todos,

Me llamo José. Esto es una de las cosas más difíciles que he tenido que escribir, pero estoy en una situación donde realmente necesito ayuda.
Un familiar cercano fue asesinado recientemente. Perderlo de una forma tan trágica y violenta me ha destrozado. He intentado mantenerme fuerte, pero el impacto emocional ha sido abrumador, y la carga financiera que ha conllevado lo ha hecho aún más difícil.
Tuve que ayudar a cubrir los gastos del funeral para los que no estaba preparado, y ahora me he atrasado con el alquiler y las facturas. Vivo solo, así que todo recae sobre mí, y estoy haciendo todo lo posible por ponerme al día, pero ahora mismo me siento abrumado.
Solicito $10,000 para ayudarme a quedarme en casa, mantener la luz encendida y tener un respiro mientras intento sanar. Sé que es mucho dinero, y sé que cada uno está pasando por sus propias dificultades, así que sepan que nadie está obligado a dar. Pero si pueden donar algo, aunque sea una pequeña cantidad, significaría mucho más de lo que puedo expresar con palabras.
Incluso compartir esto ayuda. Intento mantener la esperanza, y saber que hay gente amable que se preocupa me da fuerzas.
Gracias por leer. Gracias por estar aquí. Y gracias, de corazón, por cualquier apoyo que puedan ofrecer.
