Hi, my name is Alanna Darden-Livingston, and I'm a full-time college student trying to keep a roof over my head while pursuing my education. This is not easy to write, and asking for help isn’t something I do easily— but I’m at a breaking point, and I don’t know what else to do.

I’ve been applying to job after job, and after 14 rejections, I'm still looking. Rent prices have gone up and the cost of living has left me choosing between groceries and keeping the lights on.

I’m asking for help to raise $850 to cover my rent and essential bills for the next month so I can stay in school and not lose everything I’ve worked so hard for. This isn’t just about keeping my apartment — it’s about keeping my future intact.

Every donation, no matter the size, would mean the world to me. If you can’t donate, sharing this would help more than you know.

Thank you for reading, for caring, and for helping me hold onto hope.

With gratitude,

Alanna Darden-Livingston
