Support Octavia in Her Time of Need

Hi, my name is Octavia, and I’m currently in desperate need of help. Life has become incredibly difficult, and my silent cries for support have gone unheard. So I guess I need to be a little louder. I’m struggling to keep up with basic needs — including food and monthly bills — and I’m doing my best to stay strong through it all. I got laid off from my job (along with others) the Tuesday after the big tornado. I have been living off of my savings and the money made from my small business, but now business is slow and my savings are gone. I got denied for unemployment and EBT. I'm looking for jobs, but haven't heard back from anyone yet. If you’re able to give, even a little, your kindness would mean the world to me. I have type 2 diabetes and I am trying to stay on my diet plan. Which means I cannot eat a lot of the food that they give out at the free pantries. Your support can help me breathe a little easier and remind me that I’m not alone. Thank you for reading, sharing, and caring.
