Hi, my name is Devin, and I’m asking for help because I’m in a serious financial emergency and trying to get through the week without falling even further behind.
Right now, I need to raise $500 by the end of this week for survival expenses. That money would go toward groceries, phone and internet access for job applications and calls, and credit card minimum payments that I’m struggling to keep up with.
To be honest, the full situation is bigger than $500. I’m currently around $30,000 in debt from credit cards, car repair expenses, medical bills, and basic survival costs that stacked up while I was already trying to recover. I know one donation request is not going to fix all of that, and I’m not asking anyone to erase my debt. I’m only asking for help with the immediate $500 gap so I can keep functioning, keep applying for work, and avoid missing payments this week.
Until recently, I was relying on delivery work after I was able to walk again from a serious leg injury. That income suddenly stopped, and it left me without the emergency cushion I needed. I’m now applying for seated, admin, remote, and other realistic jobs that I can physically keep doing. I’ve also applied for vocational rehabilitation to see if they can help me find suitable work with my leg condition.
I have a surgically repaired leg with plates and screws inside. I can walk and drive now, which I’m grateful for, but long standing, heavy walking, warehouse work, or day-labor type jobs can set me back. I’m not refusing to work. I’m trying to find work I can actually keep doing without making my leg worse.
I’m also trying to restart paid voiceover work because I already have a voice booth and equipment. I know voiceover is not instant money, but it is one of the few long-term goals I have that fits my situation and gives me something real to keep working toward.
My girlfriend lives with me and has been covering rent, electricity, her phone, and dental bills. She is doing what she can, but there is only so much one person can carry.
Here is exactly what $500 would cover:
Groceries and household basics: $116
Phone/internet for job searching and communication: $110
Credit card minimum payments: $274
My current plan is to keep applying to suitable jobs every day like it is a full-time job, keep pursuing voiceover work, apply for assistance programs, and repeat that cycle until I can get stable income again and start paying down the debt.
I can of course, provide reasonable proof privately, including proof of job search efforts, medical situation, or financial hardship. I will not post sensitive personal information publicly, but I understand people want to know their help is going somewhere real.
Any amount would help, even a few dollars. Even financial advice would also be appreciated. Thank you for reading this and considering helping me during a very difficult point in my life.
