Hello guys :) , my name is Jaiyonah, though many of you know me as Jai.

If you really know me personally, you know that asking for help, especially financially, is something I never do and really struggle with doing. But to be completely honest and vulnerable, things are really difficult right now, and I’ve reached a point where I feel like I need to ask for support.

Over the past year, I packed up my life and moved across the country from Maryland to Texas to try to create a better life and future for myself. During that transition, I went through my entire savings. I was unemployed for about three months, and during that time my only income came from my credit card and whatever small amount I could make doing DoorDash.

Eventually, I was able to find a part-time minimum wage job, which helped me stay afloat for a while. However, I still had to rely heavily on my credit card to cover basic necessities like groceries, gas, and hygiene products.

I now have a more stable job (and a part-tme job), but I’m working 60+ hours a week just to keep up with bills and debt from that time. On top of that, I’m also currently in school pursuing a degree in psychology and paying for my education entirely on my own.

I know this is a big ask, and I also know many people are going through difficult times themselves. If you’re able to donate, any amount would truly mean the world to me. And if you can’t donate, sharing this page with others would help more than you know.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this and for any support you’re able to give. I appreciate it more than I can say, and I’m grateful for all of you.
