We seem to have found ourselves in the perfect storm of financial distress. With crippling debt that I am currently ignoring, Liam aging out of child support, my 2nd job being incredibly sporadic, my health issues making gig work difficult, and it being summer...we are at the bottom of rock bottom. Previous summers I have subsidized my low work hours by using credit cards to buy food and necessities. I no longer have that option as I am not months behind on every bill and maxed out on credit.

I also suffer from Occipital Neuralgia, which means I am dealing with a lot of neck issues, causing headaches, vision problems, and nausea. This has made it nearly impossible to function beyond what work I am currently doing (ESY and the barista gig).

Liam is applying for jobs and we are hoping he gets hired somewhere soon.

I have borrowed from family to cover electricity and rent this month. They can't continue to lend me money and need to be paid back asap.

I am applying for unemployment, but unsure if I will qualify, as I am working more than half my normal hours for July.

I can't pay rent. I will get a small paycheck on Aug 15th for July ESY and a very small amount on Aug 20th from the barista gig.

I start back to school the first week of September, without a paycheck until Oct 15th. That leaves me 3 months that I am unable to make all or some of my rent, utilities, insurance, etc.

I am in desperate need of help. Thank you
