At the wonderful age of 76, I find myself in the untenable position of not having money to take care of myself. Never in a million years did I anticipate this situation. It started in February of 2017, when my home burned down. It was 8:00 in the morning and I got out of the fire wearing a pair of panties and an old bathrobe I grabbed as I was running out the door. I was never to return as I had lost everything. I suffered horribly from PTSD and soon was to leave my job as a Sales Manager at Parkwood Master Builders. PTSD is nasty and it took me two years to be able to function in the workplace again. I started working as a fundraising coordinator for Wheelchair Sports Alberta in 2019. I loved every minute of it and did very well. Then the pandemic came along and I was laid off as of March 2020 until November 2021. The business was not the same as pre-pandemic and it became very part-time until December 2023 when we shut it down. In the meantime, knowing that the end was near, I accepted a sales position at American Income Life, a subsiduary of Globe Life. I need a licence to sell insurance and have been working at since then. To be honest, I found the course more difficult that I anticipated, but I have persevered and am almost done. In the meantime, when my savings started running out, I began to look for part-time work, and much to my chagrin, nobody would hire me. I find myself competing with 200+ applicants, most of them in their early to mid-twenties; apprently a 20 year old is a more valuable employee than a 76 year old. I am devastated. I have worked hard to provide a quality of life with lots of university and lots of training. If I had known that I would not be able to find work, I would have done things differently, much differently. No work and no money makes it impossible to finish my Insurance course and impossible for me to build a future for myself at this age. Recovering from the fire took much of my savings. This is a very lucrative position and I know I will be good at it. I need $5000 so I can live, pay my bills and focus on the course until completion. If I am unable to get help, I will lose my services: Telus (internet and wi-fi), Epcor ( power company), and Bell (cell phone). Without any of these services, it is impossible for me to continue. I am terrified I will end up living in my car! I am asking for $5000 to cover me while I finish the course, write the final exam and then write Provincials for the certification. The sales training is about 4 weeks and then I am good to go.
I am more than happy to take a loan with a repayment plan. Please help me.
