Support Scarlett's Recovery and Job Search

Request for Financial Support During Job Search

Dear friends, family, and community,

I'm reaching out during a challenging time in my life to ask for your support. This year has been particularly difficult as I've been out of work for most of it due to a broken arm and a serious MRSA infection that required extensive treatment and recovery time.

Current Situation

While I've been recovering, I've been actively working to maintain and improve my professional skills by contributing to open source software projects. These contributions help me stay current with industry trends and demonstrate my ongoing commitment to my field, but unfortunately, they don't provide the income I need to cover my basic living expenses.

Despite my efforts, I'm still struggling to secure employment, and I'm falling behind on essential bills including:

Rent/mortgage payments

Utilities

Medical expenses

Basic living costs

How You Can Help

Any financial assistance, no matter the amount, would make a meaningful difference in helping me stay afloat during this job search. Your support would allow me to:

Keep my housing stable

Maintain essential services

Focus fully on finding employment without the constant stress of unpaid bills

Continue contributing to the open source community

Moving Forward

I'm actively job searching and interviewing, and I'm confident that I'll be back on my feet soon. Your temporary support during this difficult period would mean the world to me and help bridge the gap until I can secure stable employment.

If you're able to contribute, wonderful. If you're unable to donate, I completely understand, and sharing this request with others who might be able to help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and for considering helping me during this challenging time.

With gratitude,

Scarlett
