Hi, my name is Melissa or Bella as most would know. You may not know me very well, but you might know my husband, Youtuber, Hawkes Gaming. A creator who specializes in helping others learn how to get the best starts in games.

While he runs his channel, creating and editing videos; I work a full time job. Between the two of us we make just enough to make it by. We pay our bills, we buy food and household items. We make sure the pets are taken care of. And we make sure the Van has the gas to make it back and forth from my work, home, and the grocery stores. We don't live extravagantly at all. To be quite honest our Van has had issues for quite some time. It needs a mechanic; an oil change; and a serious look at the power steering (as she has none). But we make what we have work; because that is what we have to do.

The crux of the problem is this... I recently quit my full time job. Without that source of income, we are struggling. We were able to sell some items that managed to get rent paid and our car insurance, but money has run out with food not far behind.

I am asking for help in covering our bills and to aid us in buying food and household needs until I can find a work. This should give me time to locate and get settled into a new job, which I am currently (STILL) looking for...

I know that times are hard for everyone now. We appreciate any help you may offer and hope to be able to pay it forward one day.

Thank you for listening and any help you may be able to give.

Bella
