Move to California for new opportunities

Donation protected
My name is Jennifer. When I left Brooklyn in 2020, it was at the height of the pandemic and I thought that I was doing the right thing for me. It didn't take me long to realize that leaving was a mistake, and one that I have regretted every single day.

Living in Brooklyn wasn't all peaches and roses as no place is. It had its faults, but living there, I had freedom. I had the freedom to walk, take a bus, subway, ferry. I had the freedom to go to work, come home, explore the city, go to a movie.

I have not been able to find a permanent position since leaving my last job in Manhattan when Governor Cuomo shut the state down in response to COVID-19. I have had some contract positions and have been working on a per diem basis for a travel agency, but have been unable to find anything different until now.

When my lease expired in May of 2022 as I had not been able to secure a position, I had to move in with my parents and have since exhausted my savings. It has been hard on all of us. They are around 10 miles from the nearest town with no real opportunities, especially if one does not drive.

I thought that I had secured a new position in Pasadena, California that is a wonderful opportunity and a dream job. I have not only secured housing, but have moved to California. Here's where the problem lies. My start date has been pushed twice and I'm almost certain that it will be pushed a final time and at that point, they will say that they can't afford me or some other excuse. I can pay my November expenses, but unless I can find and start a job in the next couple of weeks, I will be completely out of funds and unable to cover my monthly living expenses going forward.

What I need now is a bit of financial assistance to tide me over until I get my first paycheck. The money will cover rent, groceries, household items, and other living expenses. The money will also be used to cover my transportation expenses to and from work.

I am asking for an additional $2500 to ensure that I am able to maintain my living environment and can start my much needed and wanted new position.

Thank you for your assistance in this matter.
