My name is Meredith and I'm reaching out to ask for your help. I'm in a tough financial situation and I'm struggling to make ends meet. I'm hoping to raise $6,600 to help me cover 2 months of my rent, bills, medical expenses, daily living expenses and recovery. 3.5 years ago I had a severe work injury. Had surgery & recovered. About to start work and was layed off due to Covid Pandemic. About to start work again, but found large breast tumor borderline malignant. Surgery. Looked worse once removed, so second surgery to be safe. Recovery. Stopped drinking alcohol. Brain chemistry permanently changed, plus 3 years of isolation, so mental health issues worsened and new ones arose: depression, sever anxiety coupled w panic attacks, OCD, ADHD. My last living grandmother died and then my dog Dexter of 13 years died. I struggled to make ends meet and taught myself a new passion of economics, the global economy and the stock market. I’ve been self educating and studying daily for over 2 years. Started seeing a psychiatrist and trying new mental health meds. I feel better, but it’s a journey to figure out the right combo for my individual brain. A large cyst on my head arose out of ocd and constant anxiety. Another surgery and recovery. Another surgery needed again, but that’s on the back burner for now.

 I’ve had a bit of financial help along the way and I have been resourceful, but I’ve run out of $ completely and I’m finally about to be completely unable to pay rent tomorrow and all my monthly bills and living expenses.  The crippling anxiety of food and housing makes me feel unsafe, and I’m at the same time struggling with an important relationship in my family. I feel alone. I need financial help to get through the next month or so with my animals who are like my children and continue to learn and plan for my future financial independence, but it’s gonna take a bit of time given all of my setbacks. I’m very uncomfortable asking for help, and I know it’s embarrassing to my family. But, my back is against the wall. $1600 rent is now overdue. I can breakdown every dollar needed, specifically if asked. I'm hoping that with your help, I can get back on my feet and start to rebuild my life. Any amount you can donate would be greatly appreciated. Your support would mean the world to me and would help me cover my immediate essential expenses while I work to find
the help I need and get back on track. I believe in abundance and I believe that there are good people still out in this world. I have seen them, and I am starting a network of earth angels who give from their heart generously, just because they can.

 And one day, when I have the means, I believe in paying it forward. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this and for considering a donation of any amount you are comfortable with. I'm grateful for your kindness, empathy and generosity. This is not an easy thing to do. It takes an inner strength I never knew I had. In gratitude, Meredith ♥️
