“Hello, my name is Derrell. I’m reaching out in a time of deep loss and urgent need. My partner of 13 years, Ricardo, was a beacon of love and generosity. He dreamed of giving our family—including our four dogs, one with special medical needs—a spacious home. Before his passing, we planned to move into a four-bedroom house to give them that space. Tragically, he’s gone, and now the rent—$3,100 a month. Rent pass due 12 days and this is a short month so I would need 7,200. I’m struggling to keep up with these sudden financial demands while also managing medical bills and daily care. Ricardo built a life of helping others; now I humbly ask for your support as I fight to keep his dream alive. Any donation will help me cover this crucial rent and keep his legacy—and our family—safe. Thank you so much for listening and for any kindness you can offer. https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/derrellio smithdee114@gmail.com
