Swallowing my pride to ask for help

Asking for help has never come easy to me, but I’ve reached a point where I can’t do this alone. I was laid off March 31 and have been actively job hunting, interviewing, and applying for financial assistance ever since. I’m doing everything I can to get back on my feet — but time and money are running out.

Right now, I’m struggling to cover basic expenses: rent, bills, and food (both for me and my sweet pup). I’m scared, and that’s not easy to admit. But I know I’m not the only one who’s been in a tough season — and I’m hopeful that, with a little help, I can make it through this one too.

If you’re able to contribute $1, $5, anything at all — I’d be deeply grateful. And if you can’t give right now, sharing this post or just sending a little encouragement means more than you know.

Thank you for reading, for caring, and for being here.
