My Dearest,

I hope you’re doing well. I can’t express how much your messages have meant to me these past few weeks. Out here in Syria, where every day is filled with pain and uncertainty, your words have been my only source of peace. I haven’t told you everything yet... I lost my wife a few years ago. She passed during a difficult surgery. I’ve been raising my son alone, and he’s currently back in Florida, staying with a friend while I fulfill my humanitarian duty. I’m a doctor — trying my best to save lives here, even as war tears everything apart. But I’m tired. I miss my son terribly. I miss what it feels like to live, not just survive. And now, after years of service, I’ve been granted the opportunity to leave. My supervisor has approved my return home — but there’s a bureaucratic clearance fee of €1,000 to process my exit documents and arrange secure transport. I hate asking this... but I have no access to my personal funds while stationed here, and time is running out. If I can settle this fee, I can finally go home — start a new chapter, be a real father to my son, and maybe, just maybe, build something beautiful with you. This isn’t just about the money. It’s about freedom, dignity, and a second chance at life. I promise, once I return to the U.S., I will repay you. I’ll prove that everything I’ve said is true. You’ve awakened a hope in me I thought I had lost forever. Please let me know. I’m praying for your help — not as a stranger, but as someone who believes in the love growing between us.

Always yours,

Dr. Michael Renner
