Any help would be greatly appreciated

Hi everyone, Phil here.

For those of you who know me well, I had a very challenging last couple of years in relation to jobs, finances, emotions and health.

I lost my recent Sales role in early February, when I thought I was doing a good job, but was let go 4 weeks into my 6-month probation.

So, to try and make ends meet, I started to handyman / flat pack assembly work on Airtasker. But this unfortunately aggravated my deteriorated discs in my lower back.

I have just done 2 stints in hospital only to find out that 4 of my discs are bulging and contacting with my nerves.

As you can imagine, the pain at times is totally unbearable.

As per the "letter attached" from the hospital doctor, I am unable to work for a long period of time, till the disc hopefully recedes. But living alone and having the regular expenses of rent, new car payments, credit card, 2 personal loans and normal household bills and food outgoings, I don't know how I will survive.

My close friends also know that I'm struggling mentally as well, which is embarrassing to admit.

This request for help is not easy for me to do, as I am normally a giver and a very proud person.

So, any help would be greatly appreciated as I do my best to remain positive.

Either by making a donation through here, or, as I've leant, you can ask me for my bank account details to do it directly.

I really don't want to have to go bankrupt again, as my new car could be getting collected very soon.

Thank you in advance from this very embarrassed guy.

Phil Cox
