Hi, Anni here! I was laid off in May of this year from a salaried job role that I expected to be long term. With the current job market, finding a new job has been a mission. I’ve been through multiple interview processes some lasting a month with excessive assessments, moving to next steps and no job offer at the end. I’m extremely lucky and blessed to say I have been hired. My start date is August 11th! However, before then, I am requesting rental assistance for the months of July/August. I’ve exhausted my personal savings on May/June rent along with utility bills after spending over $4000 (first, last, deposit) to move into my new apartment and FL re-employment has been of no help. I would be really grateful for any help you can provide to ensure I can securely start this new position without fear of being displaced along with my cat Jalinder. Currently, I am communication with my landlord to delay any eviction processes. Even meeting half of my goal would be greatly beneficial. I am happy to provide receipts if I meet my goal to be transparent and ensure donated funds are being used towards my rent. Thank you!

October 2025 update: Thank you so much to everyone who has supported me so far. I was able to use the provided donations to partially pay my rent to delay the eviction process. Any additional income I’ve made working has been used for bills. I’m updating my goal from $3000 to

$3500 as my circumstances have changed. After countless interviews (almost one per day), I’ve finally secured a stable full-time job, but I won’t receive my first paycheck in time to cover what I owe my landlord. I’ve now been given a three-day notice for eviction, and I’m doing everything I can to stay afloat. It is extremely hard to work towards income and feeling mentally healthy again while being burdened by housing instability. Any contribution helps and I’m extremely grateful!
