hello all!

I have been hesitant to do this, but right now I must lay aside any pride or stubbornness to ask my community of connections for help.

My car is totaled (i walked out of my car with only some bruises and soreness thank God), and due to my work that is seasonal and hourly, I have not received pay since May—the end of all non-salaried programming for the org I was with. I am now seeking out and pursuing other options, but have at least a month of “limbo” ahead.

I made some poor spending choices 3-4 years ago that I am still literally paying for, but am struggling to make those payments while also paying bills and taking care of general living expenses.

I am now starting to receive mentorship in financial literacy and also seeking out psychiatric care after receiving a diagnosis of generalized anxiety disorder back in April: both things crucial for my future financial security and wellbeing.

thank you all for your time to read this, and any donation is greatly appreciated. Thank you for believing in me.

After this accident, the pressure to put myself first and take care of my own needs before others has become more visceral than before.
