Need Funds due to Hollywood Writer's Strike

Hello, my name is Tracy Maurer. I am finding it hard to believe, it has come to me doing a fundraising request for the basic expenses such as food, rent and car payment due to the Hollywood Writer's strike. Even though it just started a week ago, there was very little production work available in anticipation of the writer's strike. I am trying to find another job in a different industry other than TV/Film. It is taking a while to hear back from companies I sent resumes to.

If you could help, I will truly appreciate it and try to return the funds.

Thank you so very much,

Tracy
