Dear, Sir, Madam and or Them
I write to request assistance in an endeavour I've been striving for for many years. In striving I have, unfortunately come to a substantial roadblock.
I have always struggled with mental health issues and despite them worked hard to struggle through them and later on, understand them.
From a young age I was made homeless I say this not in an attempt to garner sympathy but, to show the journey I have been on. Even while homeless I did what I could taking on Odd jobs, sometimes if a questionable nature. Selling nearly expired foods working off the books as a cleaner or server. My point being I have always done what I could to survive. Living in the woods on the streets, in hostels and eventually in social housing. Though I struggled I aimed to create a stable foundation in which to build a dream of mine. Sadly despite 70 hour weeks and many shady employers I reached a breaking point and suffered a breakdown. Thankfully this led to a diagnosis of OCD chronic fatigue anxiety and depression that have culminated into a cycle of instability and unemployability. I was unable to work and the debts have accumulated.
Now you're familiar with my situation I'll explain my request.
My dream has always been to build a company that functions not only as a source of income but as the basis for a charitable foundation that supports creators, artists, craftspeople and scientists in their local communities not only furthering their goals but strengthening and rejuvenating small towns and communities struggling with the modernisation and digitalisation of the world.
The secondary aim of this foundation would be to buy and reclaim land and property for local communities and as an extension build eco-friendly and environmentally sound new towns and villages as a player for the future.
I am aware this seems like a large goal and it is, one I am very passionate about however given my current instability and inability to heal without stability it is sadly only a dream. That is why I ask not for investment in my goal, (because I know I can achieve it) but an investment in myself,to provide the stability I require to pay off my debts and establish a safe and stable place for myself. With that stability I've no doubt I will achieve what I will set out to do.
Any help would be appreciated my minor goal would be around £250,000 however to immediately realise my dreams I would require more.
That said I ask for your aid humbly and respectfully in whatever capacity you can provide.
I thank you for your time, consideration and for listening to my story.
Sincerely Declan Gillett
