Hello friends,

My name is Cheyenne. I have 2 beautiful children, aged 4 and 8, and we are in need of a little help. I normally work full-time as a kitchen manager at Casey's, but unfortunately, I had to go on medical leave because of my ulnar nerve. I had surgery 3 weeks ago on my right elbow, and on November 18th, I go back to have surgery on my left elbow. I filed for FMLA, but I haven't actually received a paycheck in a few weeks. I should have received one today, but my company decided not to pay me for the first week I was on medical leave, so I only got paid for 14 hours, which I'm not receiving because I had to use Daily Pay and pulled that money to pay a bill last week. The bills are piling up, and I have no funds to pay them, nor can I even DoorDash for the money because I am out of gas from all the trips to Evansville I've been having to take for my doctor appointments.

My disabled boyfriend has started picking up more hours at work to try to make ends meet, but unfortunately, due to my electricity bill getting so high this summer from how hot it was, I owe them 800 dollars. I set up a payment arrangement to keep from getting shut off, but if I miss one payment, they will shut my power off. I'm also getting threats from my car loan place to repossess my car because I'm 13 days late on that payment. I hate asking for help, but right now, I have to put my pride to the side.

So please, if you could help me and my little family out, anything will help. We are trying but are barely keeping our heads above water.
