Hi everyone, it's René again. Last month, I could not physically or emotionally set up a gfm campaign because I have a deep, uncomfortable shame when it comes to asking for assistance. I know the world I'm living in isn't made to benefit me, but I feel like a failure to have come to this point a third time. I am doing my best to build my personal skills and to apply to jobs that I can appropriate handle while maintaining my health.

In July, my car got towed the Friday before the Weekend and I had to use my mid-month check and the assistance of my community to get me through. I thought I would be able to have enough for August, but this event set me back greatly.

1 dollar is more than enough to help, or even job recommendations and postings. I cannot do any physically demanding work, but I have years of clerical and organizational experience. I have also submitted to a submission for a short novel, and hope that turns into a small moment of success for me. I wish I could offer more in return, and I have been considering trying to make crochet trinkets. I don't know what else to say or add, I'm struggling and I cannot break my lease at this time---I do not want to further ruin my credit, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry I'm doing this again and I'm so thankful for anyone who has taken the time to help me in the past + share this along. I appreciate it all.
