It breaks my heart that I am financially in a place where I need to ask strangers for help. However any support big or small will be greatly appreciated by my family. Like many people worldwide my family is suffering from debt due to Covid. I’m a nurse (rpn) and have been at my current job for 5 years. I am now working casual due to the owners of the facility making major cutbacks in hours. Unfortunately working in a private facility they can make such changes. I’m lucky if I can pickup 3 shifts a month now. I decided it’s time to find another job due to this however, was recently let go through no fault of my own. I have an almost 3 year old daughter who was attending daycare on the days that I was working. For those that have younger child know first hand how easily and often they get sick, especially in daycare settings. I had to leave work early to pick her up from being sick, I’ve missed shifts because she is sick and can’t take her to daycare. As much as I understand the employers reasoning to let me go because I wasn’t reliable, I feel lost on what to do. I am soon to be 29 and have never been fired in my life. I am a hard worker and take pride in that. My top priority in life is to be a good mom and I honestly feel like I’m struggling to do that by simply not making enough money. I don’t have enough support from friends or family to take on watching my daughter full time. That leaves me stuck at my current casual job which is the lowest paying rpn job in the city might I add. I am now almost 3 grand in debt. My daughter isn’t suffering by any means but my credit will be very soon if I can’t find anyone to help us. My phone will be cut off tomorrow afternoon unless I can pay 350$ by then. I am trying to be strong about this but it is very hard considering never in my life have I asked anyone for a “handout”. I’m hoping whoever is reading our story can help make the smallest difference for us. I understand that alot of people are struggling right now. We appreciate any support given, whether it be money or advice would be amazing. Thank you for those that have taken the time to read this and thank you to anyone who finds it in their hearts to help us in our time of need ❤
