Gondor calls for aid!

My name is Io, and after being abandoned to live alone by my former roommate I chose to take in a long time friend in Dec 2023 while my financial situation was already dire. After losing her job only two months in in April, and being unable to find new employment until just this week in mid March, and varying car issues since Christmas keeping me using expensive rides and favors from coworkers until the end of February I have now found myself completely exhausted of funds, credit, friend's generosity, and energy. I work full time to support us both but with rising costs of *everything* I no longer have the ability to keep up with things as they are. I have had to use Klarna to purchase my groceries through the months of Dec-March in a failed attempt to stay afloat and my fortunes have failed to turn around, leaving me completely without rent and bill money and 800 dollars overdrafted as of 3/20. I am currently asking for a rough amount to cover the overdraft as well as the back amount I owe for groceries to Klarna, and bills for the month of March at minimum, in the hopes that things may improve by the time further bills and rent are up for payment. Once I am able to care for these things on our own again, my focus will shift to removing one of those monthly bills in the form of paying off 6k in credit card debt I racked up caring for my roommate in this last year.

Thank you for your generosity in helping keep my cats and I in a home, we appreciate the kindness and the temporary relief from this exhausting reality.
