Hi my names Hannah and I'm here to ask for help to keep myself and my cat in housing, unexpected pay decrease and car problems. I recently received a letter that my rent is going to increase by $150 ($1,100-$1,250) a month at my lease renewal which is january 1st 2026. I'm already barely scraping by with the current rent price but was managing. I was trying to prepare in november when i received this letter and life decided to say "try me".. i had my work hours decreased by an entire days of work (cut to 4 days a week instead of 5) which is a overall loss of over $400 a month im now out. I started looking for a new job and was doing side gigs like doordash and uber eats to make ends meet while i job searched and then i got a flat tire. I cannot afford to take my car to the shop a friend helped me put the donut tire on my car but this has set me back so much. With my tire i now cannot do the doordash and uber eats and i am more than $400 short for rent. I am asking $500. $400 for rent. $100 for a tire. This will allow me to 1. renew my lease for the year on the 1st, keep my housing for my cat and i. 2. buy a used tire and give me the opportunity to go back to doing the side gigs (doordash, uber) while i job search. Even if i cant find a new job by the time February rent comes, with my current job and doordash together i can manage my rent moving forward. Anything truly helps to keep myself and my cat in our home for another year thank you!
