Hi Everybody,

So, clearly we've all been having a tough time the last several-many months. I'd definitely include myself in that statement. 

Since this whole thing started, I've been working half the hours I was previously. All the work I do is gig work, basically, so I have not been able to get unemployment. 
Thank God I'm still able to work for my parents as their caretaker, because it's very much a mutually beneficial arrangement. Without them employing me, I'd probably be out on the street by now. However they can only afford to employ me for so many hours a week and have helped me beyond that as much as they can. 
I also have wonderful friends who have helped me when they can (you know who you are <3 ) and all of that has kept me afloat so far.
However, I thought it would get me through completely, but like all of you, I didn't imagine this would last so long.

The whole point I'm slowly getting to is that bills have been piling up, money can only stretch so far, and I am in a bad place financially. 

Rent is almost due, my electric is due to be shut off on the 1st, and on and on and on. 

I know that there probably aren't many of you who can help me right now, and some who may even be in the same boat. I feel guilty for even asking, but I'm not sure what else to do (believe me, I've been brain storming)... If you CAN help, even a dollar or five dollars, well, that's something, and it will help.

I have a wonderful support group of friends and family and in that sense consider myself as rich as anyone could be. Unfortunately my financial situation does not match.

I'm humbly asking for your help with my current rent and bills - the amount I've set forth should cover things for a bit, but really, any amount will help. 

I love you all. Thank you.
