Hi, my name is Kennedy. I’m a graduate student living in Chicago. Recently, I had to leave my job due to health challenges and an inappropriate, traumatic experience I went through at work. Since then, it’s been incredibly difficult to manage my day-to-day needs—especially covering rent and utilities.

With the added burden of school and hospital expenses, things have felt overwhelming. My goal right now is to stay afloat and keep a roof over my head while I focus on healing and securing a new job (which I’m actively working toward!).

Any support during this time would mean the world to me. Thank you so much for reading and for any help you’re able to give.
