What's waiting for me outside?
No home. No income. And right now — no steady contact with my children.
But I'm not broken. I'm ready to rebuild my life. With honesty, dignity, and love.
🧡 Why I'm Sharing This
One of the darkest chapters of my childhood was being abused by my football coach — someone who was meant to guide me, but instead betrayed every ounce of trust. That trauma shaped my view of the world and of myself.
I grew up in a broken home. As a child, I carried burdens far too heavy for my age. I was never truly seen, heard, or valued. Abuse, shame, anger, and addiction became my language. I chased money, thinking it would give me worth. But it only led me deeper into the dark — until I lost everything.
My Journey in My Own Words
🕊️ What Prison Taught Me
Prison was tough — especially for someone with a good heart. Showing emotion was often seen as weakness, so I stayed away from groups, from trouble, from pretending.
I focused deeply on personal growth. I read every book I could get my hands on. I reflected. I spent hours looking at pictures of my children on the wall — not to feel sorry for myself, but to confront the pain I caused.
Every image reminded me of the responsibility I have, the father I want to become, and the man I need to be when I walk out.
🙏 What I Need
Tomorrow, I want to call my girlfriend... and hear her say that people donated in large numbers. That I won't be starting from zero. That maybe — just maybe — I'll be able to pay two months of rent. Because right now, I truly have nothing.
Even though one of my biggest battles will still lie ahead: Healing the relationship with my two youngest children.
💌 What I Can Give Back
I can't offer you much right now — but I can promise you:
A handwritten letter from me
Transparent updates about your support's impact
The chance to repay kindness when I'm back on my feet
I'll be sharing my rehabilitation process soon, 16 june, 2025:
