I loved Alaska and the picture is one I painted of my favorite song which will be 10

years old this year and it’s how I feel after three layoffs and a year of unemployment, very kind people helped me land in Anchorage. Since then now two years later, I'm overqualified, working multiple jobs bartending, serving, and working retail just to live and considering a second masters in my field if grants and student loans work out just to show I still can do my job and be exceptional!!

I'm sadly asking for help to go home to Seattle where I'm getting traction in my field but no relocation assistance. My 13-l/2 year-old pug is now working as a service dog so we can fly, so now we are shipping our car and hopefully have enough to ship one UHaul pod and the first months rent etc. We are leaving the week before Labor Day so Raydiance the little pug and ilyese the sweet cat/pug will be flying with me and Ernie is my amazing service dog (the others are ESA). I’ve saved a little over 1/2 of what I need including what I’ve raised so anything helps. Also any leads for jobs is welcome!!

If you can help, I'm very grateful and will somehow pay it forward. It's been too long and too much as I need to be with my Seattle family and find work in my field which I’m now actively looking for!

Thank you all for your well wishes and support. I’ll also be selling most of my things here in Alaska and starting over once again.
