I am very much shamefully struggling financially. I was laid off December 18th and haven’t been able to find a job since then. Then my grandma died January 9 and left me with her bills and debts. I’m looking at losing heat and water and potentially even the house amongst other things. I’ve tried streaming on Twitch, DoorDashing, and trying to find karaoke gigs to run all to little or no avail. I’m actively job hunting and trying to make money where I can but am in a very bad place right now.

The stress of these past few months has been overwhelming. Every day, I worry about how I’ll keep the lights on, pay for groceries, and make sure my cats and I have a safe place to sleep. I’ve always tried to be resourceful and independent, but right now, I’m at a loss for what to do next. The weight of my grandma’s debts and my own bills is more than I can handle alone.

The funds will be used to get myself out of my personal debt while maintaining a safe environment for myself and my cats to live in. I am so ashamed to be here asking for help… again but I have nowhere else to turn. Any support, no matter how small, would mean the world to me and help me get back on my feet.
