Hello,

My name is Ashley and I have hit some dire hard times in this past year. On October 4, 2024, I lost the love of my life, 3 weeks shy of what would have been our 19th anniversary

Since losing Jojo, I have been struggling. I struggle financially as well as with my own mental health since losing him. I recently had my electricity shut off (it is back on at the moment). I am constantly borrowing money from every friend and relative I can, to help put gas in my vehicle, pay the mounting overdue bills that seem to never end, or buy limited groceries.

I work full time, and I'm unable to get my rent paid on time, manage my utilities, and pay back all who help me in between my paychecks. I have 3 cats that I take care of, and without my other half, I am constantly trying to catch up on the expenses and falling short every time.

I would love to pretend that there is a light at the end of the tunnel, but that is just not the case. I don't have money to pay the gas bill that's due tomorrow, I will be out of gasoline for my car to get myself to work by Wednesday and I wasn't able to replace much of the food that spoiled when I lost electricity. My next paycheck isn't for 13 more days and all I have to show for it is $2.00. I desperately NEED help, and I am not able to get by and putting this GoFundMe out for everyone to see makes me feel like a failure. I just don't really know what else to do.

I appreciate you taking the time to read this. Life is so hard and unbearable most days. I am forever grateful to anyone able to assist me in these hard, somewhat impossible times.

Thank you
