To Whom It May Concern:
I am a 57-year-old woman, a mother, and a proud grandmother. Life has taken an unexpected turn, and I find myself in a place I never imagined — asking for help.
In October 2024, I was laid off from my position due to outsourcing. Since then, despite an aggressive job search and consistent applications, I have been unable to secure steady employment. My unemployment benefits have recently been exhausted, and I was shocked to learn that I now qualify for only $30 per month in SNAP benefits. As many of you know, $30 can barely cover a single day’s worth of groceries, let alone a month. I never thought I would be in this position, and it pains me deeply to reach out in this way.
To stay afloat, I’ve had to move in with my 74-year-old mother. While I am grateful for her support, this arrangement is far from sustainable. I want to regain my independence, return to work, and contribute meaningfully again. I recently landed an interview for a potential job — just 25 minutes away — but I was forced to cancel because of my car’s condition. It has an oil leak and the coolant reservoir won’t hold fluids. Without reliable transportation and with no public transit near my mom’s home, every opportunity feels out of reach.
I am not looking for a handout — I am looking for a hand-up.
I hold a Bachelor’s Degree, a Legal Secretary Certificate, and a Real Estate License. My most recent position was remote, and I would gladly accept virtual assistant work, litigation support tasks, database help, or real estate assistance. If someone can assist with car repairs, I would be deeply grateful and fully committed to paying it forward. I’m willing to volunteer my time, skills, or even repay any donations once I’m back on my feet.
If you can offer any kind of help — employment, transportation support, or simply share this message — it would mean the world to me. I am determined to rebuild my life with dignity, and every bit of support helps pave the way forward.
If you feel moved to help financially, my CashApp is $faceoff68 (Queen).
Thank you for taking the time to read my story, and for any kindness you can extend during this difficult time.
With gratitude and respect,
