We are reaching out today 12/9/2025 with humility and hope. As many of you know, we began our journey in recovery on June 12, 2024, and since that day, we have dedicated every single ounce of our being to changing our lives for the better. We have worked tirelessly to get away from the cycle of homelessness and addiction, and we are so proud of the progress we've made.

Our Progress & Our Goal

We have successfully completed major steps in our recovery process, but now we are facing the final, critical hurdle: securing our own independent living space.

• The Next Step: We have an opportunity to move into an affordable, stable apartment that will allow us to continue building on the foundation we’ve established.

• The Challenge: We need assistance covering the initial costs—specifically the security deposit and first month's rent.

If we can't secure this place, we are at risk of losing the stability we've worked so hard for and potentially facing homelessness again. We are not asking for a handout; we are asking for a helping hand up to solidify this massive life change and ensure our continued, sober success.

How You Can Help Us Achieve Stability

Every gesture, no matter how small, makes a significant difference in helping us bridge this gap and secure our future:

1. Financial Support: Any amount contributed will go directly toward the deposit and rent for our new place. We are happy to share details on where the money will be used for transparency.

2. Share Our Story: If you can't contribute financially, please SHARE THIS POST! Getting our message out to more eyes is invaluable. A simple share can connect us with someone who can help.

3. Encouragement: Your words of support and belief in our journey keep us strong.

We are dedicated to proving that change is possible and that with a little support, we can maintain the sobriety and stability we have fought so hard for. Thank you for taking the time to read our story and for considering being a part of our next chapter.

With immense gratitude,

Christopher and Crystal Wheeler
