I had hoped to not have to do this, but I simply need some help. So, I am starting a new job, but I don't begin until the end of Feb. In the meantime, I have absolutely nothing left to survive on, take care of my cat Pepper, and keep my apartment.

I have enough to cover Feb rent, but not March's rent, and by the time I get my first paycheck it will be well into March, unfortunately. As it stands now, I don't have enough to pay my electric bill, I don't have anything for food and litter for Pepper, and I won't have enough to cover my phone bill and keep my phone on.

I'm able to get food assistance for myself, but I just don't have anything else, and I need to take care of my cat and keep a roof over my head. I'm almost at the end of the difficult situation I've been in, but in order to make it to the other side, begin what I think and hope will be a steady, ongoing job, and even take care of basic needs throughout February, I really do need help. And I hate to ask, but I'd appreciate anything anyone can do. Even sharing the GoFundMe link around would be a big help.

I know a lot of people are going through very hard times right now. I'm not the only one. But anything anyone can do to assist, I'd be immensely grateful. Thank you.
