I Moved from Virginia to follow My Dreams and Goals, Witch lead me to Denver, Co. August 1st of 2014 was my First day here, I Loved it! People feel like family sometimes. I was Very Unhealthy,Depressed,and home didn't feel like home anymore. I was 320lbs. I found out the hard way about Denver's housing problem. I filled out 500 dollars in app fees, over 2k in lodging,300 in food. needless to say me and my two kids became homeless. my wife stayed in Virginia to "Work"(more on this later) we stayed at a couple of people's houses on a air mat on the floor,then found out about family shelters. Christmas Eve came and so did my wife of 9 Years. During Dinner she refused to let me use her phone and we argued, I asked if there was another person and she said that there was but she wasn't having sex with him. All Christmas Eve and day I could not sleep. I knew I had to let my wife take my daughter back to Virginia because I couldn't teach her how to be a woman. I wanted to keep my son because I will teach him how to be a real man, not some guy she picks. I try my best to keep my family together by telling my wife everything is my fault and I don't want our relationship and family to end. I got her to open up and confess if we weren't going to be together that I would need closure. She was cheating on me for the last 2 1/2 years, had a child with him, admitted to using me for a free babysitting while she went out to play house. So here I fight for myself and son to get on our feet again. But I don't have reliable child care, I've been fired from 4 jobs because of it. Just today I lost the 4th job. Now I push my goals in full force to start my Grassroots, transparent business that will include fixing homeless in Denver Metro Area. Tomorrow at 8am I will be cleaning up Colfax Ave Starting in the east from Fitzsimons parkway. Donations are a dire need. Safety vest, Trash bags, rakes, money,Anything.
God Bless and thanks for reading my rant/story.
