My name is Oscar, and I’m a government employee who has been directly impacted by the ongoing government shutdown. For the past 36 days, I have not received a paycheck, and there’s still no clear end in sight. I’m reaching out for help because I’ve exhausted all my savings and am struggling to cover my basic living expenses on my own.

The shutdown has made it impossible for me to pay for essentials like groceries, rent, and utilities. Each day, I’m faced with difficult choices about which bills to prioritize, and the uncertainty of when I’ll be paid again has added a lot of stress to my daily life. I’ve always worked hard to support myself, but right now, I need a little help to get through this challenging time.

Any support will go directly toward keeping a roof over my head, food on my table, and the lights on while I wait for work to resume. Your kindness will make a real difference and help me regain some stability until things return to normal. Thank you for considering a donation and for standing with me during this difficult period.
