Help me get a second chance at life.

Donation protected

Hello, my name is Jherico. I'm 33 years old. I'm currently homeless and jobless living in my fiancee's car. I've been applying and applying to jobs. But had horrible luck. I'm currently living out of Springfield with a support system that is nonexistent. Add that and the fact I barely know my way around the area due to transportation issues. I've been going through hardship every since my license has been suspended since April of 2022. Which I ended up finding out through a job I was set to start pending a background and MVR check. I've been trying to get it reinstated on my own but have had no luck. I'm still applying jobs but it's hard to keep them without reliable transportation or access to funds for public transit. The temp agencies rarely have work in town that I can walk to. The majority of jobs they offer is 30 minutes away on the highway. Granted I have a felony from 2014 which makes getting employment that much harder. I'm not a bad person I'm just in a bad situation. I suffer from MDD, Major Depressive Disorder. Which makes life even harder I've been dealing with it since 2009 when I lost my father. I've been trying to maintain and succeed alone but that's next to impossible when I have nobody to go to for help. With that being said I'm hoping the right people see this and decide to give me a second chance at life. Thank you.
