Get To My New Job
Donation protected
I have a job offer in San Antonio, TX but do not have the money to move. I am asking, hoping, and praying a few kind souls will help me get there.
Though I am usually pretty good with words, I am at a loss when it comes to trying to describe my feelings right now---publicly asking for help and acknowledging my own failure. I am mortified, embarrassed, and thoroughly humiliated to be in this position at 53 years old. Never in a million years would I have imagined this being my situation at this time in my life. More and more I find myself thinking of me as a loser. A weakling. A joke. More and more, as I struggle to fall asleep, I find myself hoping I just don't wake up.
I lost my job in August 2015 when the hotel I worked at in Kansas City, MO was sold and my specific position was eliminated. I was not offered another position with the new company and was given just shy of three weeks' notice.
As I'd had some health issues over the previous year, I was living paycheck-to-paycheck with no savings to fall back on. Consequently, I decided it'd be safest to go back home to Indiana to stay with family, but anticipating I would find a new position sooner than later.
Unfortunately, it proved harder than I'd expected; I was unable to secure a new position and ended up having to go on unemployment when my small severance package expired. And then, despite having submitted over fifty applications since August, I have not been able to secure a position here in Indiana and now find my unemployment just about depleted too.
A former boss has, however, offered me a position in San Antonio, TX---I just need to get there. My family, unfortunately, is in no position to assist me financially; so, out of desperation, I turn to gofundme to see if any one can be of assistance.
I have done a lot of research and calculated that I need between $1,500-$2,000 to make the move. The anticipated expenses include gas, food, and motel for the two-day drive down to San Antonio; then food, gas & motel while searching for a a room or apartment to rent; and then first & last months' rent for the room or apartment; not to mention the cost of needed prescriptions.
For some reason, I keep waking up each morning, and though I am not a "religous" person, I do believe that God---or a Higher Power---exists. And I am praying that by waking me up each day, this means He, She, or It has a good reason for me to keep fighting for new beginnings. I humbly ask for a little help and encouragement to do that right now.
Thank you for your time and consideration
