Lyra's Mom Sudden Job Loss in Sweden

Hello Dear SWEDISH Family & Friends of Harmony & Lyra,

I am reaching out as Life has thrown some unexpected challenges my way, and I am asking for your support as I navigate sudden Job loss and unpaid income during Christmas time.

I have worked at my current company for the last 7 months. All of the sudden, on the last day of the pay period, right before Christmas, my employer said we are out of funds, and my position was not able to be funded anymore.

!He could not even pay my last month's salary!

And on top of that, I found out that he never paid taxes on my income, so it looks in the tax system as if I have been unemployed this whole time.

In order for me to collect UNEMPLOYMENT, I must have been employed for 6+ months. So now I have to fight for my rights and file a report against my employer.

I am unable to apply for immediate help because I am technically still married until February and they say he is responsible for our family. But we have been separated for over a year and this is my problem to solve.

I am asking for financial support of any kind from people in my network who care and have little extra to share. I know it's non-traditional here in Sweden to ask for support, but this seemed to be unique situation I trust will find the generous hearts in my network.

I plan to go to SFI and learn Swedish. I am seeking immediate employment as I learn Swedish. I am also open to any type of advice or connections for getting a job as a Non-Swedish Speaking Resident. I am open to many different job opportunities, Online & Offline, Personal assistant for International person, Life Coach, Women’s mentor, Server at Restaurant, Event Catering, Babysitting, English Teacher.

Please email me all leads and thoughts!

Thank you so much for taking the time to read my story and for any support you can offer. I will keep everyone updated on my progress and remain hopeful that with the support of our CommUNITY, I can get back on my feet quickly!

With gratitude,

Harmony & Lyra
