I’m in an immediate housing and financial emergency. My urgent need is to raise funds by Friday to protect my housing and stabilize the most immediate financial pressure. I may be able to ask management for a short extension through Monday, but there is no guarantee they will allow it. Because of that, I have to treat Friday as the real deadline and act accordingly.

This emergency is the result of losing my job, ongoing financial pressure, and health-related challenges that made it harder to get back on stable ground as quickly as I had hoped. Since then, I have been actively applying for jobs, going to interviews, and doing everything I can to become employed again, but the financial gap has outpaced my ability to recover in time. I’m not giving up, and I’m continuing to search for work. Right now, I’m asking for help covering the immediate crisis so I can stay housed, remain reachable, and keep pushing forward.

The funds will help cover immediate housing and financial needs, including rent, utilities, phone service, internet, and my PO box. This support will allow me to stay housed, remain reachable, and continue searching for work. I’m not asking to be rescued. I’m asking for a bridge long enough to stay upright, remain reachable, and keep pushing toward employment. Any help, whether through donating or sharing, would make a real difference right now.
