To friends, family, and kind strangers—I’ve been going through a rough financial patch these past few months. After a stretch of unemployment, I recently started working again and I’m doing my best to get back on my feet. I’ve been struggling to keep up with rent and basic living expenses, and while I’m slowly rebuilding, I’m still trying to catch up. This isn’t easy for me to share, but I’m at a point where I could really use a bit of support just to help me stabilize and get things back on track. I’m fundraising to help cover rent and essentials for the month. Any contribution, no matter the size, would mean so much—and even just sharing this would be a big help. This is simply my attempt at getting through a tough moment and regulating life again. Thank you for taking the time to read this and for any support you’re able to offer. With gratitude, Jacques
