Hi, I’m Caroline. I’m 20 years old, working a minimum wage job that isn’t giving me enough hours because it’s the slow season. I’m on the lookout for another job right now that’ll give me a full-time position, but I’m currently having no luck finding one.

I owe my landlord $300 towards rent. I go to food banks for food just so I can be able to afford rent. I ride a bike to work just so I can get to my shifts. I’ve signed up and called about everything I can, but a lot of places aren’t helping. I want to keep living where I live; it’s a great place to live. If I don’t pay this rent by the 15th, I will become homeless and have no place to live.
