Hi! Thank you for reading my request. I am a social worker in California and I am requesting some money to pay off my credit cards, pay a tax bill, and pay off some other miscellaneous secured debt. Life is very expensive in California, which is why I am looking to pay off some debt and be able to move to a more affordable location. I curently take care of my elderly mother, who lives with me and my husband who has Autism Spectrum Disorder.
In 2022, I left a job that I loved, but had a very toxic work environment. I went to work for another (similar) company working with adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. My new company turned out to be very shady. Caregivers weren’t background checked properly, patients were mistreated and put in harms way. Management refused to do anything, so I ended up leaving that job and reported them to adult protective services. Because I left the company, they did not pay me my final wages as retaliation. I filed a labor dispute the same month, but it’s a very long process. It is now 2024; the labor commissioner finally found that the company owes me wages due and penalties. Now the company is refusing to pay. I now have to go to court case to get the money owed to me.
I had planned to pay off my debt so I could move out of state, but this has really thrown a wrench in my plan. I had to deplete my savings and use credit cards during the months I was out of work; and the money I was awarded was to pay off the debt and pay for a deposit and moving expenses. My sister just got out of a horribly abusive relationship and needs help with her 5 year old. I have a job and work from home, but live paycheck to paycheck as well as take care of my mom. Because of all of this, we decided to move out of state to help my sister. I don’t know when or if I’ll ever see that money from my previous employer.
So here I am, humbly before you; looking for a little breathing room. I am requesting $10,000 USD, but honestly anything helps. Thank you so much for taking the time to read my request and I hope to hear from someone soon. Have a wonderful day.
