Help Astrid Stay Afloat During Job Search

Howdy, Astrid here. The layoffs that have been happening over the last year have been brutal and I have been without work since 1/31. My unemployment benefits run out in a week and I have been barely getting by since then. I have confirmed that IL does not extend nor does it allow reapplication for unemployment benefits until a calendar year has passed. I stopped counting at 1000 applications months ago, have gotten to the final interview round multiple times, and haven't been able to find anything. I work as a senior recruiter, I know how to play this game and yet this is by *far* the worst market I've ever seen.

I am at my wits' end and have no other option but to turn for your help. Any money donated will help me pay bills and rent and continue trying for a job, literally any job, to keep myself going just that much longer. My mental health has deteriorated immensely and every day is just a little harder to keep at this grind. I immensely appreciate any amount you can share. Thank you.
