For months, I’ve been absolutely busting my butt to land consistent work, after 2 layoffs in a row wiped me out. I have onboarded with 7 tech companies as an AI Trainer. After four months of inconsistent work (typical for contractors early in the game), I ran out of time and lost my home. I don't have a car at the moment, or I'd be doing Uber to raise money.

This Friday (6/5), I am finally getting my first sizable paycheck since my first layoff, but it won't be quite enough to secure an apartment off the bat. I am asking for your help to raise funds to make part of my security deposit + first month + last month's rent (typical in Tampa).

I am safe and have a place to sleep in a friend's camper, and Florida humidity is no joke and won't be sustainable for much longer. My routine has been working in AC at coffee shops, and that's going well. However, without any cash in my pocket, I won't be able to frequent these places much longer. Not to mention eating.

Your support will make a real difference in my life during this difficult time. I can’t express how much your generosity would mean to me. If you’re able to help, even a small amount, it would bring me one step closer to stability. Thank you so much for reading my story and for anything you can spare. Your kindness gives me hope.
