Hello, my name is Linda, and I am reaching out for help during a very challenging time in my life. I’ve always prided myself on being independent, but due to circumstances beyond my control, I find myself in a situation where I need to ask for assistance.
I have been battling alcoholism for many years. After a long period of sobriety, I relapsed in March. Recognizing the seriousness of my struggle, I made the difficult but necessary decision to enter inpatient treatment in May. While this was a vital step for my recovery, it came with significant consequences: I lost my job, and since then, I have had no income.
Despite these challenges, I am committed to rebuilding my life and staying on the path of sobriety. I am actively participating in Alcoholics Anonymous, have recently found a sponsor, and attend meetings daily. I am also engaging in outpatient therapy to address the underlying issues related to my addiction. These steps have been instrumental in helping me regain hope and stability.
I’m also happy to share that I’ve found a new job and will be starting on July 14th. While this is a huge step forward, I need help bridging the gap until my first paycheck arrives.
I am behind on several essential bills:
- Rent: May, June, and the upcoming July total $3,747.
- Electric Bill: $1,800, partly due to a transferred balance from a previous residence.
- Car Repairs and Inspection: My 2012 car needs urgent repairs to remain drivable, which is critical for attending meetings, therapy, and work.
- Other Bills: I am behind on car insurance, phone, and credit card payments, with an estimated total of $1,500 needed to get caught up.
The funds raised will directly address these needs and help me:
- Avoid eviction by catching up on rent.
- Prevent disconnection by paying the electric bill.
- Restore reliable transportation by repairing my car.
- Resolve overdue bills to reduce financial stress.
Any amount, big or small, will make a difference and help me get back on my feet. Even if you’re unable to contribute financially, sharing this fundraiser with others who might be able to help would mean so much.
Thank you for taking the time to read my story. Your kindness and generosity are helping me stay focused on my recovery and work toward a brighter, more stable future.
