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 am raising these funds for myself, and all donations will be transferred directly to my personal bank account. They will help cover my basic needs like rent, utilities, groceries, transportation, and other living expenses while I continue searching for work. They will also help me support my family and continue working toward my goal of going to college. If I am fortunate enough to receive more support than I need for these expenses, I plan to donate a portion to help families in Palestine. Any help, no matter how small, would mean the world to me. Thank you for taking the time to read my story and for considering a donation or sharing my fundraiser.
