Hello my name is David.
Many of you may know me as a brother a friend or reclusive extended family member. Others know me as a hardworking computer tech and electrician or that guy who posts ridiculous comments on social media sites and now apparently asks for money.
I am here to humbly seek assistance raising money for a down payment on a house and personal independence sooner than later.
I have been saving my pennies for years and while I have enough to technically make a 8 percent down payment on a sub 140k house it would leave me with absolutely nothing as a buffer for emergencies extra costs as well as a maximum mortgage payment $1200+ish before utilities and living expenses and my current financial obligations. I can just barely make this work as is but am committed to making this life milestone happen.
Your help in this epic adventure in indipendance will be most appreciated, words can not state how much your help donations will help me help others.
It seems impossible and so far away but with everyone's help we can do it. It will take me over 18 months to save this much on my own. I am really hoping to get into the market before it bounces back and my target home prices go up out of my reach.
I am hoping to find a decent condition 3-4 bedroom 1.75 baths with enough room for me to live and any family or friends in need to stay when they need a helping hand. The house will become a sanctuary for any of my friends and family members to feel safe and get back on their feet. Currently I reside with other family members and am ready to make the step in to complete independence and the ability to give back the kind of help I have received for so many years.
Since I was 17 and even earlier then that I have been able to hold a job and done so. I have worked for my current employer for over 14 years. I give when and where I can and look forward to contributing to many others funds as well in appreciation of all the help this process may garner.
I lead a simple and responsible life and am embarrassed to even ask for a cent as there are so many good causes out there there that surely deserve it more. That being said I do appreciate any help you are willing to give to make my dreams and personal goals come true years sooner than I can on my own.
