Hi everyone,

I’m writing this with a lot of humility and honesty. Right now, I’m facing something I never expected to experience.

I am currently struggling with housing and to cover the most basic needs: food for myself and food for my dogs. They are my constant companions, and keeping them safe and fed has become my biggest concern every single day. Every day right now is about getting through the next one.

I’ve been actively applying to roles and continuing my job search, and I’m doing everything I can to change this situation. Despite steady effort, nothing has landed yet, and the gap between opportunities has left me in a position where asking for help feels necessary, even though it’s not easy. This is one of the hardest things I’ve had to ask.

This fundraiser is meant to help with immediate survival needs:

• Food and daily essentials (soap, toothpaste, toilet paper)

• Dog food and basic care (dog food)

• Temporary stability while I continue applying and interviewing.

This is not a long-term solution, just a bridge to get through a critical moment. Any amount helps more than I can adequately express, and if donating isn’t possible, sharing this page is just as meaningful.

Thank you for reading, for caring, and for any support you’re able to offer during this time.

I need help.

With sincere gratitude,

J.Everett
