Hi friends,

This is not something I ever imagined needing to do, but here I am asking for a little help during a very short, unexpected gap.

I lost my job on December 5th. The good news is that I’ve already secured a new position, and I’m set to start on January 19th. The hard part is making it through the weeks in between.

My mom has very generously offered to help cover one month of rent, which I’m incredibly grateful for. However, I’m still struggling to cover essentials like PG&E, gas, and groceries until my first paycheck comes in.

Every dollar raised will go directly toward:

• Keeping the lights and heat on

• Gas to get to and from work

• Basic groceries

If you’re not in a position to donate, sharing this means just as much. I truly appreciate any support, kindness, or encouragement during this transition. I’m looking forward to getting back on my feet very soon.

Thank you for reading and for being here.
