I am very good at presenting like things are okay but honestly things are not okay right now and I need help from my community right now! Any kind of help, even just rooting for me from the sidelines, would literally mean the world to me right now!

Not too long ago I lost access to my mental health treatment that I got thru my insurance at my old job and getting on my feet while without that access has been incredibly hard. I have not felt like myself for the past two months and it has gotten to a point where doing the freelance gig work I generally do when my finances aren’t great isn’t even really possible right now since my patterns of risk-seeking behaviors that occur when I am manic or depressed are reemerging. On top of that, any gig work I can take that requires a vehicle is starting to become difficult as I also need to save up to get some routine maintenance done on my SUV. I also have been making too much from gigs to qualify for unemployment anymore even though I am not making a livable wage from said gigs.

I am currently falling behind on rent and essentials while also watching my credit score take a hit from being unable to pay my student loans.

Any money I have been making daily has essentially gone to keeping myself fed the past month. My savings net was only enough to keep my student loan payments at bay for a little bit.

My main concern to get paid is my water bill and my rent so that I am not put in the predicament of having an eviction on my record and so I can avoid a utility shut off. For those bills I need at least $300 by April 24th. Any extra money will go towards other bills and also towards trying to find affordable mental healthcare options to rehabilitate myself and get myself back to a point where I can reliably work (gig work or otherwise) and get a fresh start with a clear head.

I know everyone isn’t equipped to help but a positive message, sharing this fundraiser, or even pointing me towards some resources would be IMMENSELY AND IMMEDIATELY helpful in my situation!!!
