Story

I’m a queer, Black, New York Early Childhood Educator. I was recently diagnosed with ADHD which has helped me better understand many of my struggles. Between predatory credit card companies, student loans, moving expenses, and undiagnosed ADHD, my financial situation is a mess. I have been trying so hard to get on track but I lack the financial resources to make things stable again. I have been underpaid as a teacher for many years and the cost of living in the NYC area is very high. I am looking for donations to allow me to catch up now that I am implementing support strategies for my ADHD challenges.
I’ve spent a long time going back and forth deciding whether or not to reach out to others for help. My family does not have the financial privilege needed to help me fix this but I’ve found support through small mutual aid donations in the past. My hope is that I can receive enough to stabilize my situation so that my current income can go to both living costs and consistently paying off my debts. Every donation helps!
I am working to undo my understanding of myself as a bad or irresponsible person. My growing understanding of ADHD and the many ways it makes life in capitalism so hard are helping me be more empathetic toward myself.
Here’s a link to better understand ADHD and its effects on finances: https://youtu.be/59svHpDx8_Y?si=acOApvVH86wSMIiZ
What this fundraiser aims to cover:
Personal loans, credit card debt, and a portion of student loans.
Thank you for reading and I appreciate your donations, encouragement, kindness and understanding!

    Your story has deeply moved us, and I’m pastor David Mark, a dedicated helper of those in need. As part of our church’s outreach program, we visit cyber begging sites to provide financial support to individuals who require assistance. We allocate 20% of our church’s income every month to this cause. If you’re in need of help, please don’t hesitate to contact me with your full name, current home address, cellphone number, and the amount needed via email. [email protected] or +1 786-632-6715

    Hi, I hope you are doing well
    I have read your story.
    I cannot simply pay the funds, but if you collaborate with me, I would like to offer you 20% of the monthly income.
    Please reach out to me if you are interested.
    Thank you.
