Hi everyone,

My name is Dakota. I’ve been working in IT for about 4 years as a Junior Network Engineer, but I recently and unexpectedly lost my job. This sudden loss of income has really turned my life upside down. I’m doing everything I can to land my next opportunity, but right now I’m struggling to keep up with basic expenses like rent, utilities, groceries, and transportation while I search for new work.

I’ve always been independent and proud of what I do, helping keep networks up and people connected. It’s not easy for me to ask for help, but right now I need a little support from my friends, family, and community to make it through this rough patch.

I’m asking for $8,000 to help cover my living expenses for the next few months so I can focus on landing my next IT role without risking my housing or basic needs. Every dollar raised will go directly toward rent, bills, groceries, and transportation to interviews and networking opportunities.

If you can’t donate, sharing this page or sending me any job leads for Junior Network Engineer roles, remote IT support, or contract work would mean the world to me too.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this and for any support you can offer, whether it’s a donation, a share, or just a few kind words. It truly means more than I can say.

With gratitude,

Dakota
