Laid Off, $7,500 Behind on Mortgage, and $3000 on other utilities. Can Our Community Help Me Bridge the Gap?
Hi all I’m John Barrington, husband, dad of four, and until last week I managed a local diner. A sudden layoff has left us $7,500 behind on June, July mortgage, and $3000 on other utilities bills. My wife and I are applying everywhere in hospitality and construction, but we need three weeks to land new roles.
My goal is to raise $10,000 to get through the next 45 days while I retrain for a Cyber Security role, and hunting for work.
I’m seeking one-time grants, donation, or interest-free loans of any size
Referrals to nonprofits or church relief funds
Tips on quick-turnaround side gigs out there.
I’ll post weekly updates on job progress and funds received, and I’m committed to paying it forward once we’re back on our feet.
