A Final Push Toward Stability—Your Support Can Get Me There
With your help, I’m closer than ever to crossing the finish line and getting back on solid ground. Here’s how you can make a difference.
Dear Readers,
I want to begin by saying thank you—thank you to everyone who has supported me so far, whether through a one-time donation, a paid subscription, or simply reading and sharing my work. Your generosity has made a significant difference in helping me get back on track. With your help, I’ve been able to catch up on my car loan and utilities and make progress on other bills that were weighing heavily on me.
But here’s the truth: I’m not out of the woods yet.
I’m still facing some urgent expenses that I need to address in the next few weeks, and I’m reaching out for your help once again.
Here’s where I stand:
My car license tag renewal is due by the end of the month, and this is something I can’t let slip through the cracks. It’s a necessary expense that I need to cover.
I’ve also got medical bills that are still outstanding. A recent diagnosis of Achilles tendinitis means that I’ll likely need new specialized footwear—an unexpected expense I wasn’t prepared for. Managing the pain has become difficult, and I need proper support to continue being mobile and able to work.
On top of these immediate costs, I’m still behind on rent. I’m doing my best to stay afloat, but my part-time job remains at reduced hours due to cash flow issues at the business I work for. With my health struggles and reduced hours, it’s been hard to get back to a position where I’m earning enough to cover everything.
Ongoing Treatment
As some of you know, I’ve been undergoing ongoing treatment for depression, anxiety, and ADHD. These challenges don’t just affect my emotional and mental health—they also impact my ability to work at full capacity. While I am actively in treatment and continuing to take the steps I need to improve, these conditions have made it difficult to push through the physical and mental exhaustion that often comes with juggling multiple jobs, health concerns, and financial pressures.
I’m doing everything I can to keep my head above water, and your support has been a huge part of that. But I still need help. I’m asking for your generosity once again so I can cover these immediate bills and keep moving forward.
How You Can Help
If you’re able, I’m humbly asking for a one-time donation to help cover these costs. Any amount is deeply appreciated, and no donation is too small. To show my gratitude, anyone who makes a one-time donation will receive a free subscription to Paragraph Stacker. That’s my way of saying thank you and continuing to give you access to the content that matters.
You can contribute via:
PayPal: paypal.me/paragraphstacker
Venmo: @newsmanone
CashApp: $paragraphstacker
Mail: 1217 24th St., Apt 36, Des Moines, IA 50311
If you’re interested in becoming a paid subscriber, that would also make a huge difference. While the 100 paid subscriber goal remains important for the sustainability of this project, one-time donations are currently the most urgent need. Anyone who donates directly will receive a complimentary subscription to the Paragraph Stacker at no additional cost.
Why This Matters:
I’ve been able to make significant progress in my financial situation thanks to all of you, but I can’t do this without your continued support. The end of the month is quickly approaching, and I still have bills that must be paid—starting with the car license renewal and those mounting medical expenses.
Your donation—no matter how small—will help me reach the finish line. And if you’re not able to contribute at this time, please know that your readership means the world to me as well. I’m still committed to bringing you the same thoughtful, engaging content that you’ve come to expect from me.
A Final Thank You
Once again, thank you for your kindness, your support, and your belief in what I’m doing here. Every donation, every subscription, every kind word—it all matters. I’m determined to continue this work, to keep telling the stories that matter, and to stay connected with this community that has supported me through thick and thin.
This will be my last fundraising appeal. I’ll continue to keep you updated on my progress, and I’m hopeful that, with your help, I’ll be able to get through this rough patch and get back to focusing on the work I love.
Thank you.
