Help Me Survive & Thrive (and maybe get therapy)


Whether you are a close friend, an acquaintance, or a friend of a friend stumbling on to this page because someone shared it, thanks for taking the time!

If you don’t know me, I’ve been a community organizer and activist fighting for racial justice, gender justice, and economic justice since I was a teenager. Most recently I was working at a nonprofit where I coordinated training and case management for low income people.

I was laid off during the pandemic and I haven’t been able to find a job yet. I moved to the suburbs to try and save money on rent, but that didn’t really work because I haven’t been able to find a job out here.

My unemployment ran out last month, and I’ve applied to a lot of jobs but haven’t had any interviews lately. I’ve tried dropping off resumes. I’ve tried so many get rich quick schemes and now I’m more broker than ever.

I hate having to ask for money, I would rather earn money through hard work but this is an emergency. I’ve waited too long to ask for help. I have gone through all my savings, I tried to sell my belongings, and I’m really trying my best to find a job ASAP.

Goals
  • Enough to pay for my basic needs like food, cat food etc for the next couple of weeks
  • Pay my electricity bill that is overdue
  • Saving to move back to San Francisco ASAP, because I have several job leads there and I have an affordable-ish apartment lined up if I can save enough for down deposit
  • Start therapy. . I haven’t had any therapy since being in a toxic relationship or since I lost my best friend and I’m still grieving/traumatized/ distraught over both

Just in case you think I’m asking for money without wanting to work, here are some things I’m working on to earn money..I've been very active in trying to hustle but I'm not seeing the fruits of my labour yet
  • Applying to jobs in person and online
  • Offering social media gigs on Fiverr
  • Affiliate marketing
  • Online surveys
  • Teaching English online

Please help me get to that next step in my career / life! I will be forever grateful.

I don’t have the capacity to pay people back because I am already in a lot of medical/school debt, but I promise to pay it forward to others once I am back on my feet again.

Thanks for considering helping me out.
