Help Me Survive This Winter While Without Work

Donation protected
Hi everyone, my name is Jennie.

I’m reaching out because, like many others, I’ve hit a breaking point this winter. As an AuDHD (Autistic and ADHD) adult, I have spent my life navigating a world that wasn't built for me. Despite being a hard worker, I have been chronically underemployed and underpaid, and right now, the work has completely dried up.

I’m not here to tell a "holiday miracle" story about theme parks or Santa hats. I’m here because I’m a real person facing a very real crisis. Because work has been so slow, I am currently unable to cover my rent, my phone bill, or my basic groceries.

The weight of this "burden" isn't just financial—it’s the constant, exhausting stress of wondering if I will have a roof over my head next month.

How your donation helps:
I am setting a goal of $5000 to help me navigate these lean winter months. Your support will go directly toward:

Housing Security: Keeping my rent paid so I stay housed.

Utilities: Keeping my phone and internet active so I can continue to look for work.

Basic Needs: Covering food and winter essentials while I bridge the gap to my next job.

I am out here every day looking for hard labor and any opportunities to work, but I need a safety net to survive this transition.

If you have the means to donate—even $5 or $10—it would mean the world to me. If you can’t donate, please consider sharing this link with your network. Every share brings me one step closer to stability.

Thank you for seeing me, for hearing my story, and for helping me make it through this winter.
