Hello, I am a 53 yr old woman, my entire adult life has been a constant struggle. I survived an abusive first husband, a drunk for a second husband, while raising my 4 kids. After my kids grew up and moved out to start there own lives, I got mixed up with the wrong people and I ended up homeless for 7 yrs. In 2020 someone gave me a chance to move out of the state of California and start a new life in Oregon. When I moved to Oregon I promised myself I would never let myself end up back on the streets. Up until about a year and half ago it was easy to keep that promise. It started out when I was working for a hotel as a front desk receptionist. I absolutely loved that job. Two months in I was fired and was told that is was an over staffing issue. I cried for a week. Then 2 weeks later, my truck broke down. I couldnt afford to fix it so I had to sell it. It took me 9 months to find another job. I was depressed, I love working it makes me feel like Im worth something. I finally found a job that i enjoyed and 2 weeks into that job i fell in my bedroom and shattered my ankle. I had to have surgery and was layed up for a couple months. Thankfully my boss held my job for me to return to when i was cleared by the doctor. I was working 40 plus hours a week which was great. I was able to get my own place and another vehicle. Well a month after i got my new place, my hours were cut down to 20 a week. So i lost my place to live and was living out of my car. Then business got really slow and i was laid off. So once again i am homeless without a job. I have sent my resume to businesses all over the state of Oregon. I got enrolled in online college thru grand canyon university. I decided to get my Bachelors in Hospitality and Tourism Management. Then i find out that my financial aid wasnt approved because they say i was enrolled in 2007. Well I was not. I have been trying to get a hold of the education people but cant a a phone call back. I had received emails from some hotels wanting to interview me in a town 3 hours away from where I am currently located. I was planning on going this week to where my interviews were. Last week the transmission in my car decided to start leaking really bad. So now I am without a vehicle again.
I have been working really hard to make my life better. Every time there is a glimpse of hope that things might start going in my favor, a big black cloud stomps it out. I feel like my life is cursed and Im trying really hard not to give up.
I know I can find a reliable gas efficient car for under $3000. I’ve got $500 saved. I still have my car insurance so that wont be a problem. It shouldn’t cost much to register in my name. I have been depressed because I am not working and I cant get to the interviews that are scheduled.
If anyone is willing to help me out, it would help change life. I really want to get back on my feet and this will help.
