I hate asking for money, but I've borrowed enough from my friends as it is and I no longer have any family. The past nine months have been hard for me. I'm going through a separation, I have a college degree and over 26 years of experience in my field. However, I lost my job last November and not only can I not find a job in my own field, but I can't get hired for any position. I've literally applied to so many jobs over the past year, that I lost count. And I've only had one interview in that time. I'm so sick of applying and getting form letters that basically say "Thanks but not thanks." or worse yet, not hearing anything at all.
I've gone through all of my savings and the pitiful amount of unemployment insurance here in Florida was a joke. Now, I'm spending 12 to 15 hours per day driving for Lyft, Door Dash and Uber Eats. However, it's just not cutting it. Some days I can make as much as $100, but others I'm lucky if I can earn $50/day. So, there's no consistency. Now, my rent, car insurance and utilities have gone up and I'm scraping by just to make ends meet.
Right now I only have $6 cash in my pocket and even less than that in my bank account. I don't even have enough gas in my car to do the ride share and delivery service options.
I'm a Type II Diabetic, have hypertension and high cholesterol and can no longer even afford my meds even though I'm on the cheapest Obamacare insurance.
Not to mention, I've run out of regular food essentials like: eggs, milk and bread.
I never thought I'd say this, but I'm pretty much at my wit's end here. So now I'm begging for help.
If you can spare anything, I'd be very grateful for any help in this matter.
Thanks
