Help Me Catch a Breath

Hi, my name is Jordan. I’m reaching out because I’m in a place I never wanted to be in, but I’m here. And I could use some help.

Right now, I’m trying to raise $1,500 to get back to zero and build a small financial cushion. Nothing extravagant, just enough to stop the bleeding and finally catch my breath a little.

I’m the primary earner in my home, working full time while co-parenting with my partner, who juggles two jobs herself. We’re doing everything we can—but the truth is, the weight has become too much. I'm tired of holding everything together with hope and overdrafts.

Why This Matters:

My car is at risk of repossession. I need it for work, for parenting, for everything.

My student loans are calling daily, default would only complicate things further.

Two charged-off credit cards are now in collections, which just makes things harder,

But more than anything, I just want to breathe. Your donation would let me get my checking account out of the negative, stop the fees from snowballing, and give me enough room to actually work with my creditors instead of running from them.

What This Money Will Do:

Clear my overdrafts so my income isn’t swallowed instantly

Keep my car on the road

Let me have a little cushion. Just enough to build from, instead of scrambling from overdraft to overdraft

This isn’t easy to ask. But I’m asking, because I know what it means to show up for others, and now I need someone to show up for me.

If you can give: thank you, from the deepest part of me.

If you can’t but still share this post: that means more than you know.

This is how I start again, with help, with honesty, with hope.
