I am reaching out with humility to ask for help for my child, who needs a psychological evaluation and appropriate support.

Our family is currently going through an extremely difficult financial and emotional crisis. Because of serious financial problems and debt that accumulated during a period when I struggled with online gambling, I have reached a point where I can no longer afford the professional evaluation and support that my child needs.

I take responsibility for the situation I am in. I am not asking people to erase my mistakes. I am asking for help because I want to make things right, protect my children, and give them the care they deserve.

The psychological evaluation is important because it will help us understand my child's needs and determine what kind of professional support may be appropriate. Unfortunately, our current financial circumstances have made it impossible for me to shoulder the cost on my own.

Funds raised will be used primarily for my child's psychological evaluation and related professional care and, if needed, other essential needs directly connected to my child's wellbeing.

I am also taking steps to address my own situation and regain stability so that I can become stronger and more capable of caring for my children. Asking for help is difficult for me, but my children are more important than my pride.

For the privacy and dignity of my children, I have chosen not to publicly share their full names or unnecessary personal details. I hope you can understand.

Any amount, no matter how small, would mean so much to our family. If you cannot donate, sharing this fundraiser with someone who may be able to help would already be a tremendous kindness.

Thank you for taking the time to read our story and for giving my child a chance to receive the help they need.

With sincere gratitude,

A parent asking for a second chance
