UPDATE:

Thanks to the generosity of some amazing people I raised over $3,000 last month, which allowed me to cover my rent and bills for the entire month of January! I am so incredibly grateful to those who contributed - you made it possible for me to stay afloat in a time of need, and it means more to me than you know! ❤️❤️❤️

Unfortunately, the leads I had haven't panned out yet, and now I find myself facing the same problems heading into January. I really hope that some of you will be able to help out one more time, and I promise it will be the last!

Thank you so, so much!

Love,

Jessica

ORIGINAL POST:

I was laid off nearly six months ago, and despite applying for countless jobs, I’m still out of work. I’ve managed to get by using a mix of savings, unemployment payments, and credit cards, but now my savings are gone and my unemployment benefits are about to run out. I finally have some promising job prospects, but even if I get hired soon, there will be a gap before I start receiving paychecks.

I’m seeking support to help cover my rent, utilities, credit card and loan payments, and transportation costs for the next few weeks. This support would not only keep me housed and help me stay on top of my bills, but it would also go a long way toward calming my anxiety and allowing me to focus on nailing down work so I can end this endless search.

I really hate to ask for help, but I’m feeling at the end of my rope. Being able to cover my basic expenses long enough to get back on my feet would mean so much to me, and I would be so grateful for any help you can spare. Thank you, and love to you all!
