The bottom has fallen out.

It pains me to create a fundraiser, but I have never been in a situation (and crisis) like this one until now.

Over the past 4 years, I have worked multiple jobs, often 7 days a week, in order to make ends meet. Several of these jobs, which I worked at for multiple years, covered half of my most basic living expenses. Unfortunately, with the major contraction in the labor market, those who employed me have suffered financially and at the beginning of this year I lost two part-time jobs that were critical to keeping me financially afloat. With this work gone, I am in full-blown crisis mode, and unsure how I will be able to pay rent or afford the most basic necessities like food and gas.

Additionally, I am in long-term recovery from a chronic eating disorder, and food insecurity is one of the largest causes of relapse for patients with such illnesses.

As a result, this GoFundMe is being established as an emergency fund to cover the most basic and essential living and medical expenses to keep me functioning.

Every contribution truly helps. Thank you so very much.
