My name is Tristen McCants, I am 21 years old, and as of now, serve in the United States Army Reserve, and work full time for the labor force on the civillian side. In March of 2025, the year I am sumbitting this, I made a mistake shortly after my 21st birthday; in January of 2025, and decided to give my friend a ride home from the bar after having a few drinks. I was then pulled over and arrested for the first time in my life. This is the frist time I have ever doe anything of thi magnitude and also first time I had ever been arrested. I am facing the consequences head on while paying for all bills; the entirety of my on rent, car insurance, food for my dog, food for myself, and all other necesseties for living. I have been trying to just keep working overtime and cover the cost of everything but with my Diversion coming up, I cannot afford to live a stable life and pay for the program and other requirments of the program without having to ask for help, and I am limited on who I can ask, so I figured I would make this and ask anyone willing. Anyone willing to help me out in any way possible, I would be very greatful to, znd forever thankful. I understand my mistake and that at the end of the dy, the punishment is essentially the financial harshsip, but it is proving to be too much to pay for and be able to still afford food and rent. So I again I ask, anyone willing to donate in any amount woukd be truy appreciated, and I do not need much, just enough, which is why I am only asking for a partial amount of the total I have to pay to be donated. I again thank you for taking the time to read this.
