I come, once again, hoping for the kindness of strangers and friends. The last fundraiser helped us out tremendously! I want to thank everyone for your kind generosity. Since that time, however, the coming cold and overall stress of being homeless negatively impacted both my physical and mental health. I found myself hospitalized a number of times, and as a result, I lost my job. On a good note, I have an in-person pre-hire meeting with Amazon soon. Assuming I am hired, I intend to use it to rebuild myself and my finances.

Meanwhile, I am once again in danger of losing everything I own in storage, I need to repair my phone (you never realize everything that has 2-factor authentication until you need it—especially for things like filing unemployment claims), and my car insurance is in danger of being canceled. We need this to help us over this hump while also hoping for your positive vibes and prayers that we can finally get on a housing list and no longer have to be separated. I have been separated from Gennady since the end of September, and it hurts something awful.

I hate asking for help, and I have had to do it so much lately, it is almost like the universe is trying to teach me a lesson on asking for assistance. Please help us with this struggle, and thank you to those of you who have shown us such great kindness already.
