Story
My name is Prince, and I recently lost someone who meant the world to me, not by birth, but by bond. He was my father in every way that mattered. He called me son, I called him dad, and together, we built something deeper than DNA: we built trust, love, and family.
Why I’m Asking for Help
For the last stretch of his life, I was by his side. I was his caregiver, his companion, and his son in spirit. I stepped in to manage the home, the bills, the emotional weight, because that’s what love does.
Now that he’s gone, I find myself navigating two storms: the grief of losing my best friend and father figure… and the very real, very heavy task of trying to stabilize my own life financially.
Your support can help me:
. Cover immediate living expenses (utilities, food, transportation)
. Handle remaining mortgage responsibilities and estate matters
. Invest in my journey back to work and creative purpose
. Access grief and mental health support.
I’ve been pouring from an empty cup for a long time. This campaign is my way of saying: I need help refilling it.
Why It Matters
I didn’t just lose someone, I lost my home base. The one person who always believed in me, who made space for me, who treated me like blood because love told him to.
He gave me the kind of loyalty and acceptance that I want to carry forward in my own life. But right now, I need a moment to breathe, regroup, and start again with dignity and direction.
Your donation, no matter how small, is not charity, it’s an act of community, of belief, and of compassion. If you can’t give, I truly understand. Please consider sharing this with someone who might.
Thank you for seeing me in this moment. And thank you for helping me honor the man who chose to call me son.
With deep gratitude,
Prince.
