I don’t even have words. I don’t even want to do this.
Mother’s Day 2024, my Red Lobster team and I worked together for the last time. I took a pay cut that day for my crew and worked expo from 11am to close and when we hit our sales goal - to me it was all worth it.
Then yesterday happened. I was put in a group text saying how much everyone loves each other and how we were the best crew. To my horror, our restaurant was shut down. Without any notice. 40 employees woke up to no jobs.
I am asking for help because I have lost my job without any warning. I was in line for a promotion and finally feeling like I belong in a work environment. I was finally able to start truly making a difference!
In 2023, my life flipped upside down as I faced domestic violence, lost two very dear friends to fentanyl overdose, got fired, received a cancer diagnosis for my dad, experienced homelessness all while being diagnosed with CPTSD and retaining a full time job.
In January 2024, I got my first apartment and I am terrified of losing my home and a warm place for my psychiatric support animal, Kimchi. I truly thought I had my life on the right track with how much I have been able to heal myself and with my ability to remain resilient but this is an obstacle that I cannot handle on my own.
With your help, I can keep my sanctuary and promote my mental health while I search for the next adventure. Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to read my story and support me. Without you, I wouldn’t be able to keep working on my life mission.
