Hello, everyone. My name is Josh. If you’re reading this, I’m already thankful for your time. I’m here to share my story and humbly ask for your support.
For years, I was a successful video game influencer, living comfortably and building a life with my girlfriend. But life has a way of throwing unexpected curveballs.
In 2020, a trusted friend and business partner disappeared after securing $7500 from me to invest in a joint venture. It was a devastating blow, both financially and emotionally, and it was just the beginning of a downward spiral. My credit score plummeted, and I lost my job amidst company-wide layoffs due to the pandemic. Without a steady income, my girlfriend and I were forced out of our apartment, and we had to rely on our aging car and crashing on friend’s couches.
In 2022, we decided to settle down again, looking for a place to call home. But as we attempted to rebuild, we fell victim to a rental scam, losing $1000 of our hard-earned money. Each setback has been a blow to our financial stability and our spirits.
Josh’s Recovery Fund
Today, we’re doing our best to get by. I’m working multiple part-time jobs, and we’re slowly making progress, but the reality is daunting. Our bank account balance is currently -$349, and we’re living on the edge of a financial precipice. We’re getting by with the basics, but we’re unprepared for any emergency – a car breakdown, a vet visit, or a computer failure could be disastrous.
I’ve always been someone who trusts in the goodness of others, and I refuse to let these experiences tarnish that belief. But today, I’m turning that trust towards you – towards this community. I’m asking for your help to get back on our feet and secure a stable future.
Every donation, no matter how small, will make a significant difference in our lives. It will help us cover our immediate debts, secure stable housing, and create a safety net for future emergencies.
Thank you for taking the time to read my story, and thank you in advance for your kindness and generosity.
With gratitude,
Josh
