I have gone through several request of others round the world and I almost think my situation is not even worthy to put out there. I wish I could be in the position to send help to others but this is where I find myself right now.
Right now, I am facing a critical need for emergency money to cover bills, car repairs, and my driving test due to an unfortunate combination of circumstances: I haven’t been able to secure work shifts for weeks, and while I’ve been actively trying to land a new job or even a passive income, the process takes time. This situation has left me in a precarious position, struggling to keep up with essential expenses like food, rent, and basic needs.
The lack of income has created a domino effect on my financial stability. Without steady shifts, I’ve fallen behind on utility and rent payments, which puts my housing and basic services at risk. Missing even one bill payment can have cascading consequences, such as late fees, reduced credit scores, and the possibility of disconnection of vital services. This pressure is not only financial but also emotional, as the stress of trying to make ends meet without sufficient resources weighs heavily on me. Covering these overdue bills is essential to prevent further deterioration of my financial situation and to ensure that I have a stable environment to focus on finding new employment.
Adding to the urgency is my car, which is in desperate need of repairs (I was able to get the needed part but need funds to take it to the shop). My car isn’t just a convenience; it’s a necessity. Reliable transportation is critical in light of the current weather conditions, potential shifts that might come up on short notice, and everyday tasks like grocery shopping and medical appointments. Without a functioning car, my ability to expand my job search radius or even attend interviews is severely hampered. Public transportation may not be a viable alternative due to limited routes and schedules in my area, making the car repair an unavoidable expense. Ignoring the repairs will only make the problem worse and more expensive in the long run.
While I’ve been doing everything in my power to improve my situation, the job market has been challenging. I’ve updated my resume, applied to numerous positions, and followed up with potential employers. Despite these efforts, the process of securing a new job takes time, and even once I’m hired, there’s typically a delay before the first paycheck arrives. In the meantime, my bills continue to pile up, and my car remains unusable. This gap between expenses and income has created a financial emergency that I cannot overcome without external assistance.
I work as a freelance graphic designer but there has been no paying gig, you can reach out and I will gladly take a paying gig. I am also exploring every avenue to address this crisis. I’ve looked into temporary gigs, borrowed small amounts from friends when possible, and cut down on all non-essential spending. However, these efforts can only go so far, especially when the costs of bills and car repairs exceed my available resources. Emergency funds would provide the immediate relief I need to stabilize my situation, pay overdue bills, fix my car, and maintain my ability to search for and secure a new job.
This situation has been a humbling experience, and I am determined to get back on my feet. With a bit of help, I can overcome this challenging period and work toward a more stable and self-sufficient future.
Thank you very much for your benevolence, and may God bless your kind heart.
