My name is Cheryl.

Please read all the way through to get the whole story.

I'm starting this GoFundMe because I'm going through a rough patch and I've tried loans, and I've tried asking others for help that I know in person. I believe that God will take care of me.

But I also believe He will use anything to do so.

My manager decided to cut my hours over a misunderstanding to the point she doesn't want me on the schedule, and I have been looking for other jobs with not a lot of luck yet. Of which I am praying gets resolved soon because I have rent coming up and I am past due on utility bills, and honestly, some days it scares me.

I know that I've not been given a spirit of fear but of power, love, and a sound mind. I need to remind myself of that.

(And the reason I have the picture of my cat on there with me is because this affects him too. If I lose a place to live, so does he. And that's one of the things that could happen if I can't keep afloat these next couple of months. And I am more worried about him than myself. His name is Arye and he's just the sweetest.)

I am requesting funds for at least 2 months' worth of bills. Not because I want to be lazy but to give me enough time to find another job to support my household, and to be able to pay off what I already owe.

Here are the essentials needed:

My Ameren bill is over $200 right now.

My water just went up over $100.

My rent is over $600.

My Wi-Fi, which I'm not as worried about (though I kind of need it to look for a new job), is roughly around $80 to $100.

Also, food expenses which would run about at least $150-$200 a month(cat food and essentials included).

Please note that this may not be a lot to some people, but when taken off the schedule till who knows when, it makes it harder to pay bills.

Please prayerfully consider donating!

Thank you!
