Hello, and thank you for reading.
I never imagined being in this position — at 57 years old, after working hard all my life — now disabled due to illness and trying desperately to hold on.
I’ve already done everything I can: used savings, sold what I could, and reached out for every form of assistance available through ODSP and CPPD. But it’s not enough.
Now I’m behind — and I’m scared. I’m at real risk of losing what little stability I still have, not because of poor choices, but because illness doesn’t care how hard you’ve tried.
I’m asking for one final lifeline — not to live in comfort, just to survive and stay housed.
With your help, a goal of $5,000 would give me room to pay back urgent debts, keep a roof over my head, and have the peace of mind to focus on my health.
I’ve tried to do this quietly and with dignity. I’m not asking for pity — just a small push from kind people willing to help someone who’s done everything they could on their own.
If you can’t donate, please consider sharing this. Every bit of support means more than I can express.
With gratitude,
— A fellow human doing his best
