I'm Richard. I am not currently in services however i am formerly a first responder in Wisconsin. Many lives take many unexpected turns throughout and mine has definitely been one of those. After a pretty rough path with many many experiences, i have found myself settling down with the woman i love , my wife April. And in doing so, we have come to our financial ends with all that we have our plate. I have SSI as my only income and my wife is currently unemployed. We take care of her parents and everyone and anyone else around us that needs a helping hand. So much so that it hurts us most of the time. We dont really look at it as hurting us, its been more if a blessing to us to do what God has put in our hearts to do, to help others no matter what. Whoever He brings our way and in our path. I have had some various odd jobs along the way as needed but as my vision has started to fail me due to cataracts those short bouts of various work are few and far between. Now im very reluctant to confess this but I need the help now. Anything I can get. The power bill has become something i struggle to keep afloat barely maintaining to avoid a shut off.  And the house trailer needs more repairs than i can wrap my mind around. Not to mention not having a working truck and the family car is on its way to non operable and unsafe for the road. And having to turn people and friends and family away, because i just dont have the means to be able to help.,..... That breaks my heart. These are the things i need help with i just cant seem to make ends meet and come up with the funds i need to stay afloat. Winter is fast approaching and shamefully i admit that I am drowning. I need to grab a floatation device to save myself, So i can save us from absolute poverty and despair. Anything you can donate will help our family tremendously! And we will put you on our Christmas list ; ). God bless you all and have wonderful holidays.
