Simone Needs Help While The Checks "Process"

I did not want to have to do this but I can't pretend like I don't need help anymore.

Last year I was not renewed for season 3 of the show I had been working on since it began. Losing my job so abruptly would not have been such a problem IF the residual payments I was owed then arrived on time. I was supposed to receive several thousand dollars in August of 2022 for the prior year's residuals - that never happened. In fact, those residuals weren't even paid by the network for an unclear amount of time and for an unclear reason. After what felt like hundreds of calls from me, my manager, SAG reps, etc. I was informed that while the network did finally pay - hallelujah - it would "take some time to process." WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? For months, my check has been "on its way"- but this waiting game has become completely untenable. I was able to find work again finally but the past due rent balance I have accrued has now become emergent. I have run out of time.

I'm turning 30 next week...ha.

If you could spare anything, even a dollar, as a birthday present or a "I don't want you to be evicted" present, you'd be helping keep a roof over my head. I don't have a family support network to tap into - my mom is currently unemployed and my dad doesn't make much; he has been homeless in the past and is still in debt from that situation. I'm coming to my community instead.

I'm working now. I am back on my feet. I can feed myself. But my landlord needs his money or I will be in very serious trouble.

Thank you all so so much for even reading this. I appreciate it. I wouldn't be here without such great friends.

Love,

Simone
