Hi all. I go by Rose. Asking for help is very difficult for me, as I've always been the fixer for my problems and others.

A few years ago, I lost my parents, which was the only family that I know of or hadn't disowned me. Unfortunately, after taking time off from my finance job of 8 years, coming back in, I could no longer function in that toxic environment. And in the USA right now, employment opportunities aren't exactly at their best. I was able to stay afloat for a bit with savings.

I have a cat, and she is always taken care of no matter what. I've pared down my bills to rent, cell phone, and public transportation. I ended up selling my vehicle earlier this year for not as much as it was worth. I have a perfume hobby that I've been auctioning off, but not everyone is into luxury items at the moment with the economy. A friend was nice enough to give me a small loan. My health also isn't so great as I recently developed moderate to severe agoraphobia, along with the depression and anxiety that has come with this situation. I'm also in the middle of transitioning, which is perfect timing.

My landlord was working with me but sprung it on me today that if I am unable to pay the balance by the end of the week, the eviction process will begin.

I've tried other avenues but have come up dry. I don't expect this GoFundMe to pay for everything as I know we are all hurting, but even a little would help. And I'll be forever in debt to you all.
