I am a United States Army Veteran, a husband, and a father of three children. Asking for help is not easy for me, but my family is facing an immediate crisis, and I have no other choice. I am currently between jobs, and despite actively doing everything I can to secure employment, I am unable to meet our rent obligation during this temporary hardship.

The total amount needed to prevent eviction and keep my family housed is $6,189. Without this assistance by December 30, my family will lose our home and face the real possibility of sleeping in our car or on the streets. The thought of my children experiencing homelessness is heartbreaking and weighs heavily on me every day.

I have always taken pride in providing for my family and serving my country, and it is incredibly difficult to be in a position where I must ask for help. I am reaching out to Fund the First because of your commitment to standing by veterans and their families during moments of crisis. Your support would give my family the opportunity to remain safe, stay together, and regain stability while I continue working tirelessly to secure employment.

Any assistance you can provide toward the $6,189 needed would make an immediate and life-changing difference for my family. Thank you for your compassion, your mission, and for supporting veterans when it matters most.
