EDIT Added: I've hit a minor snag in financial plans that were going well. So, I'm updating this a bit. Help, if you can. OR, if you have a need for the handcrafted seed bead and other jewelry I design and make; let me know. Thank you for your continued support.

Hey there, it's Christine Mancini. You may know me well, know me a little, or not know me at all. In any of those categories, thanks for taking a look and reading this. For the past several years, my life has been not good in many ways. I'm more fortunate than some, less fortunate than others. Right now, I find myself in a position that embarrasses me and humiliates me. I need help. I have been the sole source of income for my household for decades. I have struggled often; but, found ways to make it work. Right now, I can't. I have always helped others when I can. Even now, when things in my life are bleak, I continue to participate in fundraising events for others and help others by supporting their projects and events in whatever ways I can.

Right now, I need help from anyone who can. I am so far behind on my mortgage and bills that I am on the brink of losing everything. I'm trying to go back into my former field, but since I was at the same place for so long, all of my clearances need renewed. And, since I never needed licensure in my last position, I never obtained it and I have come to find that any position like what I used to do now has licensure as a mandatory requirement and that could take me years to obtain.

I've been behind before; but, never like this. I can no longer wait for the good that I've spent my life putting out into the universe to come back to me. I need to ask for it. Please, if you can in any way help me, I will be eternally grateful.

p.s.

I will be using any money donated to pay bills, get caught up on everything. Once I do that, I will close this fundraiser and let you all know that I have been able to. The main purpose of this is to get caught up on my mortgage so my son and I do not become homeless.
