Support Olivia's Recovery After Job Loss

Donation protected
Hello, my name is Olivia and I'm making this campaign because I need financial aid to pay my bills until I can find a new job.

I went on medical leave to have a surgery that would prevent further nerve damage to my hand. My boss was very resistant to letting me take my leave, tried to insist that I cut the time of leave by more than half, even though I told her I won't be fully healed by then. Now that I am able to work again she's informed me that there is no longer a place for me at the company. As I work in an at will state this is apparently legal?

For two weeks I've been searching for work but it's been a struggle to even get calls back and I've only had one interview at this point. I'm now down to only $70 in my bank account, which will not last me to the end of the month and I can't even afford to go to my physical therapy appointments any longer.

I am on temporary food stamps, so food is not a concern at the moment but my case was meant to only last for my medical leave, so it should end after May, which will leave me in an even worse place.

I am asking for only $2,000. This money will go towards the following:
$700 for rent
$80 for internet
$50 for phone
$50 for personal loans
$30 for transportation
$30 for non-food groceries

My hope is that I will find work before this money runs out. Anything anyone would be comfortable giving, I would be incredible grateful.
