I don’t want pity. Just someone to hear me.

Debt collectors are threatening my family.
I’m trying everything — writing, working, asking.
Nothing works.

I’m holding on by a thread.
I write horror stories, but real life is worse.
Ko-fi is in my bio, but even a kind word helps.

    I get where you’re coming from. I know how it looks — a new account, asking for help. But I’m not here to scam anyone. I’m a father fighting to stay afloat and protect my child. I don’t expect pity. Just hoping someone might care. If not — thanks anyway for taking the time to read.

      You’ll get better advice if you don’t panhandle. Agree with the poster above that I personally wouldn’t give money to a stranger like that.

        I totally get where you’re coming from. Honestly, I never imagined I’d end up in this place either — begging online just to get my son through another week.

        I’m not expecting strangers to solve my life — I just hoped someone out there might still care enough to help a father protect his child.

        Either way, thank you for being honest.

      Bullshit. If you were legit looking for help, you’d be asking for financial advice, food banks, etc. Resources to actually help. Not some pity story followed up with “you can find my contact info in my profile”. Your comments read like AI or someone’s writing exercise.

      You real and want some advice? Look into declaring bankruptcy and restructuring your debts.
