Help me survive

Donation protected

I lost my job 2 months back, and it was a job that I had gotten after a critically long time of chronic unemployment. I was working as a cashier at Tim Hortons, and I developed a critical foot condition because of which they ended up firing me. The plantar arches in both of my feet are lost. I have some money in my bank account  but it is money that I am gonna put towards buying orthotics for my feet. Thanks to the generosity of my family, my friends, and my boyfriend and his family I was able to have the money I needed to buy the orthotics.

However, I still have bills to pay, transportation to cover (especially for the job interviews that I will be going for), groceries to buy for myself, and I do not have any money in my account to help me with any of that.  I am currently living with my parents but they barely have enough money to get by so they are unable to help me with my expenses, and I don't expect them to. My mom also has a cyst in her knees due to which she has been unable to work on a regular basis so it has made our financial situation more precarious.

I am still looking for work, but without much luck. Currently, I also cannot look for or do any job that would require me to stand so I am very limited in that regard. While I look for work, I would like to have some wiggle room and not consistently worry about every little expense I have, so any amount donated here would be much appreciated. The money donated will be used for food, transportation, phone bills and credit card bills. 

It's really hard to focus on looking for work when you're trying to make ends meet, and when you have to worry about every cent that is being spent. Any and all help will be sincerely appreciated. 

Many thanks in advance!
