<div>As I have shared with some of you, I am going through a rough time financially and a kind friend urged me to post a go fund me request. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I hope you will find it in your heart to help me get out of this financial hole I'm currently in.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for whatever you can do. I am so grateful for your support and love.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>-----------------------------
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Crystal has been experiencing some rough financial times, like many of us these days. But she can’t just dip into her savings or put an expense on a credit card. WHY? Because her situation is a bit different. She’s not able to work full-time or even part-time, as she’s disabled, with multiple health issues.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Because of unplanned and recent rent and utility increases and some unexpected health expenses, she’s been struggling with rent, electric, heat/gas – the basics that keep a roof over her head!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Crystal works hard to make a tiny bit of money by creating and selling Crystal’s Creations, which are beautiful pendants that are wire wrapped -- perhaps you’ve seen her work on her Facebook page <a href="https://www.facebook.com/crystalscreationsnyc." target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/crystalscreationsnyc." target="_blank" class="" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://www.facebook.com/crystalscreationsnyc.</a></a>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>However, that income is minimal and goes to feed her beautiful cats, who give her unending love, emotional support, and much cuddle time.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Crystal relies on her Social Security Disability Income, which is a very limited amount of funds which usually are enough to cover her rent/utilities, etc. She gets an even tinier bit of SNAP (food stamps) which enables her to purchase cheap pasta, rice, and other long-lasting food. There is no wiggle room for added or increased expenses as SSDI and SNAP do not increase due to larger expenses.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>So, what’s the solution?
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>She really needs the help and financial support from her community – friends, family, followers and folks who have admired her Crystal Creations.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Right now, she’s behind on rent, gas/heat/electric, and has overdrawn her bank account, which then charges her penalties, but she’s not able to fund the account until her next SSDI payment which is weeks away.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>So now she needs our help. She’s relying on you – to help her get out of this financial hole.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>She’s not asking for much; rather a contribution of $10, $25, or whatever you can afford will truly help. And in fact, you’d be amazed at how a variety of small amounts of funds from a mix of people can add up to a much larger amount. And that larger amount will make a difference.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>And isn’t that what we all want to do? Make a difference? Effect Change? Help another human being?
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Please know that YOU can make a difference in Crystal’s life.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Please help Crystal get back on her feet with a gift of love and financial support – Crystal and her beautiful cats will be so grateful for the support of her friends and family during this hard time.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for whatever you can do..
</div>
