🌟 **Our Journey Together**

Hey everyone! 👋 I’m Mark, and today, I need to share something deeply personal with you. It’s not easy for me to ask for help, but sometimes life throws us curves we can’t dodge alone. We are facing a foreclosure on our home, which is heartbreaking beyond words.

**The Struggle:** Last year was tough—really tough. I was diagnosed with prostate cancer and I had no choice but to take time off work. It’s painful admitting that bills piled up while we were trying to cope with my health crisis at home. My cancer is stable as of today and I am getting checked every six months currently.

**The Hope:** Despite everything, our kids need a stable environment more than ever. They deserve stability and comfort, not just in their everyday lives but especially now when they could use some normalcy amidst uncertainties. I’ve taken on an additional job working 80 hours a week to make ends meet—I won’t let us lose this home!

**The Need:** We need your help urgently. The clock is ticking, and we must raise $16,000 immediately to keep the bank at bay. Every bit counts; no donation is too small. It could mean a mortgage payment or two secured against our future support in brighter times. This isn’t about charity—it’s about keeping faith with each other when life feels heavy.

**A Personal Promise:** I promise transparency and open communication regarding how these funds are used, because your trust is sacred to us. We believe that together we can turn this dark chapter into a testament of resilience in our community!

If you feel moved by our plight or simply want to reach out with advice or support, please message me directly. I’m here for those one-on-one discussions where every voice counts and hope is rekindled. 💖

Let’s come together as a village again—a place of safety for my family during these trying times. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts if you can help or even just share this story to extend an offer of kindness that could make all the difference in securing not just bricks and mortar, but also peace of mind for us. 🌈

Love & gratitude always,

Mark Hansen 😊
