Last night, I was in a car accident that completely totaled my car. This sudden event has turned my life upside down. Without a car, I’m unable to get to the job I just started on Monday, and I can’t make the money I need to pay my phone bill, which is due today. The stress of losing my transportation and the risk of losing my job has been overwhelming, and I’m doing my best to stay hopeful.

Right now, I’m staying in a hotel because I have nowhere else to go. The cost of the hotel is adding up quickly, and I’m worried about how I’ll manage to keep a roof over my head while I try to recover from this setback. The funds I raise here will go directly toward paying my phone bill so I can stay connected, and mostly toward covering my hotel expenses so I have a safe place to stay while I work on getting back on my feet.

I hate asking for help, but I know I can’t do this alone. Any support you can offer would mean the world to me and help me survive for the next couple of months until I can get back on track. I appreciate every single person who takes the time to read my story or offer help—everything truly helps. Thank you so much for your kindness and support.
