Help Sherri Move & Rebuild after Layoff & Termites

Donation protected
Hi! My name is Sherri. I was laid off from my corporate job of 6 years in September 2024 due to a reduction in force. I was fortunate to receive severance and unemployment while continuing to seek full-time employment and even pursuing my goal of becoming a full-time social media content creator. Neither have panned out as hoped yet.

And now I’m facing eviction from my home. I’ve lived in this tiny little studio apartment for nearly 7 years. It is home. However, the rent is due and property management wants their money. Understandably so.

I have only recently started delivering for DoorDash and just got approved for Uber Eats. I’m on the waitlist for Spark. As an introvert who is also deaf, I enjoy delivering food to people and hopefully making their day a little bit better. I wear 2 hearing aids that give me the ability to hear things I would not otherwise be able to hear. One hearing aid broke months ago (they’re very old), but my provider was able to have it repaired. Unfortunately, it cost $375 to pick up and I don’t have the funds. When it rains, it pours.

Thank you for reading my story. I pray you are able to donate to my cause. Any amount helps! Thank you so much for stopping by. Namaste

Addendum: Goal & title revised/updated 4/30/2025 due to change in circumstances. Previous goal of $4,000 was met. With that I was able to pay: April rent plus late fees, past due car payment to avoid repo, new windshield replacement for my car, one hearing aid repair, auto inspection & oil change, & have enough left to pay May’s rent which I pray will be my last month. Please see latest update/video from today 4/30/2025 which explains everything. Thank you again for your support!

One more update in case you don’t have time to read all the individual updates/videos: I got approved for Spark delivery & I love it! I’d say Spark is currently my primary gig but I’m actively working 4 delivery gigs. I’m also on the Flex waitlist.
