I need a hand up

Donation protected
Hi, it’s me Brittany, I am sending this out because I REALLY need help. For as long as I can remember I have been overly independent and not ever wanted to ask for help from any one for anything. I have regularly “jumped in” and helped any one and everything where I thought I could be of use, sometime even at my own peril by giving up something needed or wanted. I have never helped because I felt anyone owed me, I just help because I like to help and I could.

I am now at the point where I desperately need help myself and asking for help is the HARDESAT thing I have to do, but it is what needs to happen.

At the beginning of this year, I was offered a good job paying a lot more that I had been making and so I started in a new field, with the added income I moved and now have a lease in a beautiful home for about the same cost as my old home but with significant advantages. It turns out the company I worked for was fraudulent and the company folded. In their closure I lost my job as well as my wages went unpaid.

Since June I have diligently looked for work and have had zero success, I have had to file law suits against the company and although I have wont the collection process is quite slow and as such I can’t pay my rent.

If I don’t get a job or income soon, I am at risk of ending up in a homeless shelter as the people who can help me already have been stretched to their limits.

I know it is the holidays and this makes it a hard burden, as it is there will be nothing for my children as I can’t justify gifts when we are facing probably eviction. I just need a hand up and a job so I can get back on track and on my feet with some sort of dignity.

If you can help me, I don’t even know the proper words for the gratitude and gratefulness I would have.   This money will help pay my rent until i can secure a hjob and pick myself up.  I am literally a broken person right now and need help.
