It has taken me days to finally calm down enough over this and sit down to compose it. I realize no one has to help with this but pray for some miracle, that there are people who know how it feels to have one lone opportunity that is still so far reaching , if it happens at all. I shouldn’t be doubting myself but after moving here 3 years ago and finding no work, I’ve applied in desperation to cities elsewhere. I didn’t expect a reply but I actually got one. Then I didn’t believe the interview would lead to an offer. When the email marked “employment offer” showed up, I’m surprised I didn’t ’fall off my chair’ in shock. Now comes what appears to be the hardest part yet…Making it happen.
In making it happen, it sounds simple: the rental I found requires first/last month’s rent (2 x $1,500, so $3,000), auto insurance because the vehicle has been parked ($700 total and includes reactivation/late fees etc), travel (likely needs an oil change/tune up and gas, say $400, and if very fortunate it definitely needs new tires and a spare, say $600). I am seeing these as all that is needed to make my new work a reality. The position pays enough that I can make rent once there for a month, I believe.
Please, I’m so close to having my life back that this is very stressful. Without the generosity of humanity, I am out of luck to make this dream happen. It’s been horrid being unemployed. PS. I also have an emotionally abusive partner to leave and cannot afford it, unless I can afford it. Yes, I’ve been through the women’s shelter and on a waiting list for two years now. Domestic abuse is rampant and there are lots of ladies waiting ahead of me.
Wow. To say one never knows what life will present has been an understatement for sure. But I think I’m doing what’s right to get my life back. So close. Life can be generous but it sure can be humbling. I’ve experienced both now and feel the knowledge learned is invaluable and should be something I can help others with when I see them seeking to take back their life too.
Please, whatever you feel you can help with so my new future happens, would be wonderful. Thank you for taking time to read my plight. It’s been a long road.
