Title: A Heartfelt Plea for a Friend in Need

Hi, It's Steve Louden of Colorado, here. You might know me as the guy who just can't catch a break or perhaps you've heard about my bad luck that started in 2019 and hasn't stopped since. Well, I'm reaching out to all of you today because it's time for an update and a heartfelt plea for help!

Let me take you back to March 2023...your donation will help me rebuild the life I once knew before 2023 turned everything upside down. It’s not just a payment; it’s an investment in someone who believes wholeheartedly, despite hitting rock bottom—and maybe because of it—there is always light at the end of the tunnel if you're willing to reach out for help and believe.Nothing left. I have hit Rock bottom. I am asking for help. Most times I am an overcomer. This time has been tough. 

March 2023. I was shot by my ex-wife with a 357 revolver, (she was a manipulative, violent, psychopath) in my chest at point blank, it almost blew off my right arm which goes num often. PTSD is real. Surgeries to follow.

January 2024 when life threw me another curveball—I fell on some black ice at 65 years old. This was no ordinary slip; it led to reverse shoulder surgery that left me unable to work for over a year. I'm talking about 18 long months of struggle and pain. 1 more year of recovery.

November 2025. Now, here comes the kicker—hiking at 12,500 ft, in Colo. In classic fashion, life decided to take another swing at me. I had "a widow maker" heart attack w00% blocked artery. I said help me Lord. It felt more like a kick in the gut and near death! I survived, though, and that’s something, right?

So here we are—I was hit from every angle financially, emotionally, physically... you name it I've been there. The kicker is, I have zero savings, reserves, monies, to fall back on. It feels like my life story has turned into one of those suspense-filled plots with no end in sight! I am below rock bottom.

My hope isn't just about making ends meet; it's also about regaining a sense of self, dignity, and my passion for life that these trials have threatened to strip away from me. I believe in miracles and a new start. Buen Camino

Your support isn’t just financial help; it’s believing in the power of second chances when they seem impossible. Your contribution will allow me not only to help financially but also emotionally and mentally from all that has happened. It's about more than fixing my bank account—it's about healing my heart, soul, and every part of who I am. I know the Holy Spirit will show me the way.

Thank you from the depths of my heart. ❤️ Your support means more than words can say, especially on days when I feel like giving up. Remember me in your prayers as well—I need healing, and to go and face the day, wisdom from above right now! Fear not.  I am grateful for you.

If you feel led to give and want to help me and share some hope of resilience, here are two quotes that sum up my journey so far: "The only real mistake is the one from which we learn nothing." - John Powell. "Difficult roads often lead to beautiful destinations. The more challenging life becomes, the more opportunity there is for learning patience and perseverance." - Alyssa Endlich

"All things are possible through Christ that strengthens me!"

With love and hope,Your prayers and help are appreciated. Steve Louden
