Hi everyone,

I don’t usually ask for help, but I’ve been through a lot recently and I’m struggling to make it to the end of the month. On top of some personal trauma, I’ve had setbacks with housing, health, and work that have made it really hard to stay afloat.

I just started a new job, but because I came in mid-pay period, my first paycheck will be small. My next full paycheck won’t come until the end of the month — and I’m already behind on bills while running low on food and gas for myself and my dog. I’ve been prioritizing bills these last two months as best I can, but it’s starting to catch up with me.

My goal is $4,000, which will go toward rent and catch up with utilities, bills, food, gas, and caring for my dog. Even $5 helps, and sharing this page means so much. Thank you for helping me bridge the gap and make it through this tough time
