Like my father, I can be extremely stubborn, especially when it comes to asking for help. Like most deaths, losing my father was unexpected. And like most older people, he didn’t have the life insurance to help lift the financial burden of a proper burial.
Between the funeral and paying for other related expenses like debt, house repairs before a sale, etc., I have been left with that responsibility to pay. On top of dealing with those things, I’ve had three tours cancel this year all within the last month so the amount of stress I’ve been under since April has been like none other.
I am not the type of person to look for handouts, and it took a lot of courage to even start this, but in hopes to keep business and life afloat for now, I had no other choice. My entire career/life is based upon looking out for others, so I guess this is my turn to be looked out for. I appreciate the thought and anything sent will be forever in my heart. Thank you.
