I’ve never used a service like this before, but figured I would give it a try. I’m currently struggling through a very rough time and am less than a month away from eviction from my apartment. I’ve been working as a software engineer for the last 4 years, which has been a life upgrade for me as a single mom and sole provider who was on government assistance and barely getting by only 6 years ago and only has an associates degree in design. My son and I have been able to do pretty well these last few years as things were getting better financially for us and about a year ago, things got even better when I was hired as a software engineer apprentice at Amazon. However, the last few months have been full of huge financial setbacks for us and to top it all off, I was unexpectedly caught in a wave of layoffs through Amazon last month at the worst possible time for us. As I’ve been scrambling to land a new job of any kind that can cover our rent and prevent eviction and subsequent homelessness for us, the little bit of savings and 401k I had from Amazon has been running out and as of today, there is nothing left and I still have not received a job offer despite more than 150 applications and communications with technical recruiters in this last month. I am doing several 2nd, 3rd, and 4th round interviews next week and the following week for a few companies, but as we get closer to November, the reality has begun to set in for me that even if I am given a job offer, my first check may not come in time to prevent my son and I from being evicted and having to live in our car this winter during the holidays. We don’t have any support structure and there is no other source of income or support into our household, so this has been a terrifying last 30 days for me. The rent on our 2-bedroom apartment is $2700/month, but anything helps at this point and would make us both extremely grateful. My paypal is paypal.me/sblakely01
