Hello, my name is Katrina and I am asking for help this holiday season. I was a supervisor for six years in a non-profit organization and lost my job due to unfortunate circumstances. I was so enmeshed emotionally with my job that I had a difficult time getting over the loss of it. I thought I would spend the rest of my life working there and it defined me. I went into a deep depression and did not look for work right away. I am now desperate to find a job but have found that it is not as easy as I thought. We are struggling to make our monthly bills and do not have any money for Christmas which is alright because Christmas should not be about presents anyway. I am sure my children will understand. I loved my job and it broke my heart to lose it but I am back on my feet and looking for anything if anyone can help with that. In the meantime, we do not have the money to cover simple things like groceries, haircuts, school fees, gas, etc. I am grateful to anyone who reads this and wants to donate even $1. This is not something I would normally do but I am feeling out of my depth here. I hope to be the person that helps others during the Christmas season but this year is not the year I can help but I will next year.
