My name is Larry Peterson, and I’m asking for help during one of the hardest periods of my life. I lost my job, and soon after, I lost my home. In a short amount of time, the stability I had worked for disappeared. I’m now trying to rebuild from the ground up while dealing with the immediate reality of finding somewhere safe to stay, covering basic expenses, and getting back into steady employment. I’m creating this fundraiser because I need a little time and support to get through this transition. The money raised will help me with immediate necessities such as temporary housing, food, transportation, phone service, personal essentials, and the expenses involved in securing a new job and permanent place to live.
I’m embarrassed that I have to ask, but I also know that accepting help today can give me the chance to stand on my own again tomorrow.
