Hi, I'm reaching out with hopes of finding support during an incredibly difficult time. I need to raise $2600 to complete my rent payment and avoid being evicted from my home.It's not just my home, my parents live with me and my father is a metastatic prostate cancer patient. I take care of him and my mother.

In August of this year, my life took an unexpected turn. I suffered a syncope episode that landed me in the emergency room. While the medical tests didn't reveal any physical issues, I realized my mental health was deteriorating. Panic attacks and chronic anxiety, which I had ignored for far too long, began to significantly affect my life.

My construction job, which requires operating heavy machinery, became impossible to perform safely. Every panic attack was a risk to myself and my coworkers. With a heavy heart, I had to leave my job to seek professional help.

This decision, while necessary, had a devastating impact on my finances. Debts, which were already a burden, increased to over $20,000 in recent months. Adding to this is the responsibility of caring for my father, who lives with me and is battling metastatic prostate cancer. Medical expenses, medications (abiraterone and prednisone) and the constant uncertainty How much will the insurance cover and how much should we pay ,have added extra pressure to my situation.

I've tried seeking help from the county, but options in Florida are limited. Now, my priority is to avoid eviction and keep my family safe in our home

I don't have a large social circle that can support me financially, so I turn to the community hoping to find some help. If you are able to contribute any amount, I would be infinitely grateful. 

I sincerely appreciate your time and consideration. I hope my story serves as a reminder of the importance of taking care of our mental health, especially for us men, who often believe we don't need help. Asking for help is an act of courage."
