<div>I never thought I'd be doing this before, but I could really use your help.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I've been financially supporting a family member who has been having some mental health struggles, in the hopes that I would be repaid. Unfortunately, the relative's situation has gotten much worse and there's no possibility for me to be repaid. <strong>I depleted my savings trying to help a family member.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The journalism job market has basically evaporated nationally and almost entirely in the LA area, so I am trying to transition to another industry. My backup plan was the tech industry, but unfortunately, that world has been plagued with massive layoffs as well.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>I have worked seven days a week for the past several years but haven't been able to get enough subscribers. If you know some big podcasters, I would love to be on their programs.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I've been working on several book projects as well, but they haven't sold yet. If you know of any jobs in policy, media, or communications, please let me know. I also could use your help getting onto some larger podcasts or YouTube channels to enable me to support my journalism independently.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>It looks like I will need to transition to another industry, but this is going to take time, and right now I cannot pay my rent for myself and my two children. </strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you so much for your support!
