Help Zoe Make it to Next Month

Embarrassingly, shamefully, and regretfully, I must continue to ask for help in whatever form I can take it in. But because of the advice I've received, the jobs I've been referred to (fingers still crossed), the donations that have allowed me to make it through another month, and the kind voices that have made the greatest impact during the most challenging time of my life, I have decided to re-evaluate the help I am asking for and give greater and more transparent purpose to every kind word, donation, share, or whatever those of you can give.

I want to express that every donation so far has gone directly to my lease payoff fee, as well as prescription costs and my last power bill. All of these things have been beyond important in this journey so far, and it has not been for nothing. I thank all of you for the generosity and kindness you've given me, and it is of the utmost importance that I express that. Thank you. My gratitude is immeasurable.

Although I will relentlessly continue my search for a job that will pay well enough to prevent another hopeless situation (and offer comprehensive and competitive health benefits to keep the demons at bay), I am working tirelessly to find a feasible way of earning any additional money on the side as I possibly can. With that, I'm determined to dedicate any additional time I have moving forward into artistic endeavors. Not only will these endeavors give me a way to earn some amount of money outside of GoFundMe while I continue trying to land interviews (or better yet, a job), but they will give me some way to pay back in the only way I can at this moment in time.

You will find the list of financial assistance I need in terms of bills for the next month in hopes that I will find my way by December. If I am not so lucky, I will update the amount I am asking for as time progresses.

As of today, November 4th, 2024, below are the bills I must pay as soon as possible to avoid further late fees. If you choose to donate, I ask that you clarify what you would like your donation to go towards so I can continuously update this list accordingly:

Utilities (Water, Sewer, Trash, Cam Charges, Service Fees)

- (For October): $250 (overdue, including late fees)

- November: $140

Power (Rocky Mountain Power)

- November: $140

Gas (Enbridge Gas)

- October: $35 (past due)

- November: $20

Renter’s Insurance

- November: $20

Internet

- November: $60

Prescriptions

- November: $75

Artistic Kickstarter: $100

To those of you who have shown me any amount of empathy, sympathy, love, even to those who choose to keep your judgement to yourselves, thank you. You've kept me going much further than I pictured I would ever get. Thank you.

And for those of you who agree that I'm not special, believe me, I know. I know that others need more help than I do. I know that I'm pathetic, and I know I've embarrassed others and myself by resorting to this. And I know that I have asked too much already. And I know that my best won't ever be enough because so many others have worked themselves out of worse financial situations than I am facing, even if this is only a minimal fraction of the overall ruin I am yet to face that I am not prepared to. I know so many people have done it all on their own from the ground up. I know I've dug so much of my own grave. I just don't really want to see what an eternity here looks like quite yet.
