<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>I have until the 1st of December to make this</strong> <strong>goal</strong>! (<strong>Monday</strong>) The last few months have been some of the hardest of my life. I lost my job after being pulled into a situation I had absolutely nothing to do with. I want to make it very clear that I had no involvement in the issue that started any of this.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>A parent simply communicated to me what their child told them about something another teacher did. When the parent felt their concern wasn’t being taken seriously, they went to higher leadership — and that is when everything changed.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The same leadership who became angry that the parent went to the higher-ups (after nothing was done when they complained the first time) assumed that I told the parent to do that. I did NOT. But once they formed that assumption, everything shifted.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Before this happened, I was a dedicated worker.
</div>
<div>I worked long hours, opened the center, closed the center, and was always the first one there waiting to start my day for a long time. I went over a year without calling out . I loved my job.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>But after the situation with the parent, I was retaliated against.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I was singled out.
</div>
<div>Talked about behind my back.
</div>
<div>My hours were suddenly cut.
</div>
<div>My full-time schedule dropped to almost nothing.
</div>
<div>My work email and communication access were removed.
</div>
<div>I felt bullied, isolated, and pushed out because of something I didn’t do.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This wasn’t a misunderstanding — it was clear retaliation meant to damage me and make me suffer.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Then everything got worse.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I had already been hired for a new job. My references were positive, (as they always are) and I had a confirmed start date. But leadership from my previous job contacted my new employer and asked them to take back the positive reference they originally gave — and replace it with a false and damaging one.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Because of that false information, the new job stopped the hiring process completely.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I have messages, emails, and documentation proving the truth and proving the retaliation. But the damage to my income and stability was already done.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>⭐ How This Affected My Education
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I am a senior in college — the first in my family to make it this far.
</div>
<div>I’ve spent four years working hard to become a counselor.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Part of my program required one simple sheet of paperwork from leadership so I could begin my internship. Everyone else turned theirs in on time. I submitted everything early.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>But the same leadership who retaliated against me intentionally delayed my paperwork, even though it was only one page. They waited until after the deadline to submit it.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Because of their delay, I missed my internship placement and had to wait an entire year — which pushed back my graduation date.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’ve been paying my college fees out of pocket, but after losing my income, I fell behind. Now I cannot graduate until my account balance becomes positive again.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Graduating is my dream. It’s the only birthday or Christmas gift I want.
</div>
<div>I am so close — but this setback has pushed everything out of reach.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>⭐ Why I’m Asking for Help
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I do finally have a new job now, but I do not start until the 1st.
</div>
<div>My rent is due the same day.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I am $2,600 short, and without help, I will face eviction.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’ve been doing DoorDash, Uber, Grubhub — any gig work I can find — but it’s not enough to catch up.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Due to legal reasons, I cannot go into great detail about everything that was done to me that was wrong, but this is the truth of what happened. I only have about two or three days to come up with this amount.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’m not asking for a handout.
</div>
<div>I’m asking for help to survive a situation that I truly did not deserve — one that has affected my job, my income, my stability, and even my education.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you can find it in your heart to help or even share this, I would be deeply grateful.
</div>
<div>Anything helps — truly.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for reading my story.
