Help a Burnt-out Art Grad pay her bills

Donation protected
Hi, my name is Nick and I've had a bad year... a really, really bad year.
I am raising funds to pay my phone bill ($25) my rent ($900) and hopefully start making a dent in my medical bills, which currently stands at $3,000.
Here is my story.
I finished my Bachelor's of Arts degree this spring, but just before graduation, I lost my job, and a lot of my friends moved away. All of my structure and support systems had suddenly vanished, and I was left burnt out and jobless. I did my best to find a job to keep me afloat while I looked for something better, but I was so visibly depressed that no one would hire me, and my depression only got worse. I had to be hospitalized because I couldn't get out of bed. That was the first hospitalization of three this year.
I eventually did find a job bussing tables, but it puts a lot of strain on my mind and body, not to mention the unpredictablility of the hours and pay, so I've never quite been able to break even.
By November, I'd had enough, and I started looking for jobs that requiered a degree. But just as I'd secured two interviews for decent desk jobs, my psychiatrist denied a refill for a new perscription and the withdrawals triggered a breakdown which landed me in the hospital, again. But despite this, I still couldn't get the medication upon discharge, and my mental state only got worse, until I made an attempt at my life. Obviously it didnt work, and I wound up in the hospital's psych ward for another week, this being my third week-long visit this year. By the time I was discharged, I had missed both interviews and three (going on four) weeks of work. I can't make any phone calls because I can't pay my phone bill, and I still can't go to work because I was exposed to what might be covid and have to quarentine. I'm already feeling symptoms of some illness, and I can hardly feed myself because of my autism and adhd, which makes cooking nearly impossible in my current state. And if I do have covid, that will be another 5-10 days without money or work. If I could just get 5 people to pitch in $5, then I would be able to pay my phone bill and be able to start working on getting my life back together again.
