2016 has been a really bad year from me.  I know... like for everyone else. But this year has been really bad.


In September of 2015, I lost my job and I've had a rough time since then. After running out of unemployment this year, I proceeded to fall into the worst jobs of my life. Either they were low paying or the people who ran the companies were just not good people.

On top of that, I have been in and out of hospitals for chest pain and stress related issues. To make matters worse, I was recently diagnosed as Bipolar II.  I have not been able to afford to get the help I need in that area.  

I just lost a job last week. The week before Christmas.

So here I am at the end of the year unable to make rent and I'm facing being homeless.  While I have a very part time job copywriting job it's not enough to make rent by any stretch and I've been doing payday loans to get through which is brutal and I am trying to break the cycle of that happening.

I have taken in two people in the 2 past year who were homeless and now I'm facing the same thing myself. At the age of 57, it's demoralizing to have to ask for assistance, but I don't know what else to do.  I have always said I would never take my own life because I made  a pact with God that I would never do that, but I can't fathom being alone and on the street.  

I still have a lot to offer to the world.  Anyone who knows me knows me as a very caring and giving person.  I'm very creative and my best years are still ahead of me. At least that 's what I would like to believe.

This is so demoralizing and humiliating. I really need a miracle and fast.

Anything you could do would be greatly appreciated.
