Covid tough times

Donation protected
I have had an extremely difficult year. It started with losing two jobs in March a Substitute Teacher and a youth Volleyball sales job which was cancelled when sports was cancelled due to Covid. I normally have no problems with work and am financially solid. I ran into trouble with rent and am now lucky my Landlord knows my situation but its near the end of his ability to let me go. I am now 3 months behind on my rent. That is $1650. Now on top of that I was struggling with car insurance and other bills. I had a small accident and even though I did pay the insurance they claimed it was cancelled and I was not under financial responsibility in Ohio. They activated my insurance the day AFTER I paid. The day I paid I backed into a car and I didn't think I did much damage I did none to my car but the bill came to $2800.

Well in Ohio no insurance means your license gets suspended and the insurance company who paid demands me to pay $1000 up front and $300 a month till paid off. This is extremely difficult for me I can try and work and earn but if I lose my Drivers License I wont be able to drive for ride sharing or to work. SO in this emergency situation I cannot get a loan for my bad credit like most people with bad credit. My family cannot give me money as both parents are 75 and retired. SO I figured I would try and start this go fund me and then I can catch up with these bills and try and go finish college to become a school teacher. I do volunteer at a church handing out food to people. I use this service because I do not have food stamps but always volunteer to help them. I believe in one thing former Coach Woody Hayes said which is Pay forward you may not be able to pay people back. So for me if I get this assistance of any kind I will be in a position to pay back others. So bless you if you can try and help me.
