Hello, everyone.

I have been looking for permanent work for the past 7 months. I am without the ability to drive to work until I can save up enough money to restore my car insurance, so my options are currently limited to a small local radius. I have been staying at an assortment of hotels, shelters, and friends' places based on what I can afford on any given week.

I have been blessed to receive monetary assistance from several friends during this time, including one friend in particular who has helped me to the point of embarrassment. But as we head towards the end of the year, I am faced with a need to ask for help from the wider world.

Any financial support you can provide will go directly to my basic needs of food and shelter, my job search, and my ability to restore my insurance and be able to drive again. Also, I do not have a very large "social circle" online, so any shares of this fundraiser would be especially helpful to me, just to increase the number of people who will see it.

Any help, monetary or otherwise, will be appreciated more than you know. I want nothing more than to go into 2026 with my feet back solidly on the ground, working towards returning my life to stability. Thank you for reading!
