In addition to the increased expenses associated with living in this city, I have also faced unexpected financial hardships, including mounting debt, unexpected medical expenses, or other unforeseen circumstances.

I firmly believe that this revision will enable me to continue fulfilling my parental obligations while simultaneously addressing the financial challenges brought upon me. Please find enclosed the relevant documents, such as pay stubs, tax returns, and any other supporting documents that demonstrate the changes in my financial circumstance. I am more than willing to provide any additional information required to evaluate my request thoroughly.
