Hi, my name is Kris, and I am reaching out today because my household has hit a breaking point. We are going through an incredibly difficult time, sinking in debt, and we honestly cannot do this alone anymore.

Currently, we are facing an immediate crisis: our electricity is on the verge of being cut off due to non-payment, we are struggling to keep a roof over our heads, and because we have had to prioritize loans just to survive, we frequently face days when we have no food on our table or are barely eating. We have no financial support from family, as everyone around us is facing their own hardships.

I want nothing more than to work and support my family, but a severe physical limitation has left me trapped. I am currently suffering from severe back and nerve pain (likely sciatica) that makes it difficult for me to walk or stand for more than 10 minutes, so I cannot leave the house without using a taxi or Uber.

While I have experience in call centers, customer service, and similar jobs, I cannot take a traditional on-site job. My only viable option is to find a work-from-home/remote job. However, I am stuck in a catch: I do not own the required equipment (a reliable computer, headset, camera, etc.) nor the high-speed internet connection needed to secure these positions, as I currently have to share internet with a neighbor.

My boyfriend is working tirelessly, going the extra mile every single day to support us both on a single salary. He is utterly exhausted, and seeing him carry this weight while we both battle severe depression and anxiety over our survival is heartbreaking.

This campaign is more than temporary relief; it is intended to help us overcome our current situation but also an investment for our future.

So we can even share our intentions for these funds:

Emergency Relief: Paying off our overdue utility bills to keep the electricity on, securing our rent, and putting food back on our table.
A Job: Setting up a proper high-speed internet connection and purchasing the basic equipment (computer and headset) required for me to secure a remote job immediately.
A Sustainable Future: Investing a portion of the funds into starting a small, home-based food business. My boyfriend is a wonderful cook, and this investment would allow us to establish a steady, independent stream of income so we never find ourselves in this dark place again.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you. Asking for help like this is terrifying, but we have nothing to hide and are happy to provide any verification needed. Your contribution—no matter how small—or even just sharing our story, means a safe home, a reliable meal, and a real chance to work our way out of this crisis.

My biggest dream is to overcome this hardship, build a stable life with this wonderful man by my side, and grow old together.

Thank you for giving us a fighting chance to make that dream a reality.
