Hello I'm Val Doordasher bookseller cat saver

Donation protected
Hello I'm a Door dasher. I sell books and I drive through people. As well as care for cats. I had $3.38 but PayPal wasn't working so I sent it to Google now I can't get it back and it's the only money I have for gas money this is so that I can work so I can take care of my responsibilities and eat I would appreciate anything you can spare so that I can accomplish that. I'm 68 years old I'm the oldest doordasher in Independence Iowa and I plan on dashing and other towns around Independence. I can't get from there to here and they're back here if I have no gas. Yesterday I dash for 4 hours got no deliveries. Sunday I dash for 4 hours got one delivery was to Oelwein Iowa 14 miles from Independence. I made $12 in tips it was an all from him it was some from the company and it allowed me to buy a bag of 16 pounds worth of. I'm starving here and I really need to work if you help me I'll have gas today and I can go to town I owe $56 to Boiban for an oil change. I get my social security check on the 1st this coming month is taxes so that's $75 along with a $530 I pay the landlord because for some reason we don't get credit for paying our bills it all goes the landlord so his credit is improved. There's a lot of things I would love to change including the fact that that mobile homes are our homes they're not vacation homes. We deserve to be seen equally as people living in a house. And we deserve to have credit accumulating for us paying our debts instead of being shown as ghost in the system and credulous. I've been paying on my home since September of 2020. And my credit hasn't once improved. I pay all my bills except for the one from US Cellular which I did not pay because I had two LG phones and they died in my hand there was no way I could get on the internet without a phone I owe them $500 I can't pay them or anyone else or buy food I go to the food pantry and get fruit doesn't go very far I'm nearly out of it I have like six grapefruits left I'd like to eat I like to be able to pay my bills fix my home fix all the cats that live here in the trailer park and make them all sterile I can do nothing without your help please help me there's also a certification I'd like to take it's a year in veterinary assistant I'd like to be recertified in but we'll do that another time that's almost $2,000 to take that course online. Please help this Iowa one so she can work I've looked for 6 years for work and my field is hospitality true to management working in food service and hotels the first time I found work here. And I can continue to do it every day of the week but I need gas
