Hello everyone,

My name is Mark, and I’m a single father doing my best to care for my autistic son and keep our little family steady. Both of us are on the spectrum, and while we manage as best we can, some situations are harder to navigate than others.

Right now, I’ve reached a point where I need to ask for help. Due to a mix of financial strain and some unexpected expenses, I’ve fallen behind and now have a $150 bill that has to be paid immediately. I only have $100 left in my account, and that money was meant to cover groceries for the week.

I’m doing everything I can to stay on track, but at this moment I can’t make ends meet without a little help. Any contribution—no matter how small—would go directly toward keeping food on the table for my son and me, and covering this urgent bill so things don’t spiral further.

Thank you for reading, for sharing, or for helping if you’re able. It truly means more than I can say.

— Mark
