Hello, this isn’t an easy request for me, and I’ve never been in this position before. At 52 years old, I’ve always been able to take care of my own needs throughout my working life. But now, I’m reaching out with my story, with the hope that it will lead me into a new chapter of bigger and better things.
Last summer (2023), my girlfriend, who lives with me, was let go from her job as a CNA. The company accused her of abuse at work, without any explanation or reasoning—just told her to go home. In the state where we live, this is actually allowed by law.
This event marked the start of a difficult period for us, though we managed to push through. Still, we faced many struggles and continued to fall behind. I worked for Uber for a time, using my car, and in 8 months, I took a one-year-old car with 28,000 miles on it and drove it up to 95,000 miles. In May of this year, both my girlfriend and I found stable, hourly jobs working at a group home. She works 30 hours a week, and I work 20 hours, but I also take on overtime when I can. Still, we were often late with rent. We always paid the full amount for the month, along with a $50 late fee, but the landlord eventually lost patience. In November, he chose not to renew our lease.
We now have until January 15th to move out. We are planning to relocate closer to family in Massachusetts, as we currently live in Connecticut. We’ve found a few places that we like, but the financial requirements for moving are steep. First and last month’s rent, a security deposit, and the cost of moving will amount to around $6,000.
I’ve recently started a new business venture offering sales services. It’s in the early stages, and as with anything, there’s a start-up period. The holiday season has slowed things down, but I’m confident that after the holidays, this opportunity will grow, and I’ll be able to make a solid living. So if anyone is considering helping, please know that I am resourceful, determined, and a survivor. Our main challenge right now is timing.
I had to cancel plans to visit my father and brothers in Maine for the holidays because of our financial situation. With the move, a four-day trip just wasn’t feasible.
I am a spiritual person and believe everything happens for a reason. I trust that the Universe, or God, has a plan, and that my manifestation will lead to better things ahead.
I discovered this site while searching for a side hustle, and I am praying that someone out there will hear my story and offer some support.
Thank you for taking the time to read this.
