Aid Megan as She Rebuilds Her Life

Hello! My name is Megan.

My life changed in many ways since January. For context, from April 2020- January 2025 I was a full-time contract artist. My income has decreased significantly while fees kept rising. I didn't get a massive art grant, and because I didn't I promised myself I would shift gears to focus on stable income.

And in January my relationship of 9.5 years ended. He and I still get along, it's just sometimes things don't work out. I've been reflecting on myself in many ways. I won't delve into our relationship as that is between him and me.

The point is, I have been trying to deal with my own grief about it all, the art career falling apart, the relationship ending, all while bills keep going up. My last art contract was in January. I had been applying to so many jobs that I lost track of the number of applications. Most of the time I wouldn't hear back.

However, I was able to get a new job as well as housing just days ago. I move in a few days, and my job starts next week. The housing is a studio apartment mother-in-law unit with pet nannying in exchange of rent. I am deeply grateful and fortunate.

I am asking for your help to catch me up on some overdue bills. I cut back most expenses of things I don't need, like Netflix, because I can't afford it at the moment. But I am two payments behind on my car insurance, and this will help me keep that current before the policy ends. This will help me with groceries, my phone bill, and gas. This little bit of cushion will help me so much as I work the full-time job and wait for the first paycheck.

Car insurance is the most important, as I lost my car key just moments before making this and roadside assistance is necessary for moments like this.

I am still working on my online degree simultaneously, as well as still going to Gage Academy during nights when I'm able. Your help will get me on my feet after what feels like the hardest time in my life mentally, financially, and emotionally.

Thank you,

Megan
