Hi, I’m Aidel Hawkins (she/her), and I’m reaching out because I’m facing a difficult financial season and could really use support.

Right now, I’m carrying several urgent financial obligations all at once that I’m struggling to keep up with. These include renewing my vehicle tags that have been expired since March, repaying nearly $1,000 for recent car repairs, paying my taxes, and several other debts owed to family and friends who have helped me through hard times. I’ve done my best to manage everything on my own, but the weight of these competing needs has become overwhelming.

I’ve delayed asking for help because I always try to figure things out myself first, but at this point I know I can’t realistically meet all of these obligations alone. I’m doing everything I can to move forward, stay responsible, and stabilize my situation, but I urgently need support to get there.

Any contribution, no matter the size, would help relieve immediate pressure and allow me to address these essential expenses. If you’re unable to donate, sharing this fundraiser would also mean so much.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and for any support you’re able to give.
