Help Me Breathe Again: Short-Term Support Needed

Hi, my name is Olivia; and this is one of the hardest things I’ve ever written.

For the past month and a half, I’ve been without work. I’ve applied to countless jobs, sent pitches, followed up, and done everything I can think of. But despite my efforts, I haven’t had any income since we moved - and I’m honestly starting to drown.

My fiancé has been carrying us the best he can, and while he’s not saying much, I can feel the weight he’s holding. And the truth is: I don’t want to just survive. I want to be able to breathe again. I want to stop holding back tears when I check my bank account. I want to contribute to our home and not feel like I’m failing.

This isn’t forever. I’m still applying, still showing up, and still fighting for the life we’re building. But right now, I need help covering my portion of the bills so we can stay afloat while I get back on my feet.

If you’ve ever felt stuck or scared or like asking for help made you weak, please know you’re not alone. I’m learning that too.

Whether you’re able to donate, share this with a friend, or just send some encouragement - thank you. From the bottom of my heart.

Every dollar, every message, and every share is a lifeline right now. I see you. I appreciate you. And I promise to pay this forward when I can.
