My name is Arianna, and I’m reaching out for help during a really difficult time. I recently lost my job because I said "free Palestine." I want to be clear that I wasn’t antagonizing anyone—I was simply exercising my freedom of speech. Unfortunately, this led to me being let go, and since then, it’s been a struggle to find new employment. Some places have misunderstood me, and I’m worried about being unfairly judged, which has made my job search even harder. I’m scared about how I’ll pay my bills and support myself in the coming weeks.

Right now, I’m doing everything I can to get back on my feet, but the uncertainty is overwhelming. The funds from this fundraiser will go directly toward covering my basic needs—like rent, utilities, and groceries—while I continue searching for a new job. Your support would give me the breathing room I need to recover from this setback and move forward with hope.

Any help, no matter how small, would mean the world to me right now. Thank you for taking the time to read my story and for considering a donation or sharing my fundraiser. Your kindness and support can make all the difference as I work to rebuild and find stability again.
