My name is Emily. I live in the southern part of California, and I'm trying to raise some funds to just get by.

The place I work at doesn't have great hours, and I've been trying to get a better job. As I'm writing this, it would be 2 years still trying to get a better job. From my workplace and donating plasma as much as I can, I can cover my rent but just barely, and I would have around $20-40 left over. It's not enough to cover the other bills, which are another $70-150 (laundry and bathroom supplies I don't need to buy as often as paying rent). So, I need help. I'm currently living with my friend, and this is the last place I have left; otherwise, I'm homeless. Anything helps me pay off rent or just to cover me for the month. If I end up with extra, it's going towards my pets. They mean like family to me, and I want them to be healthy, happy, and rest assured they'll be okay.
