To begin with, I am not poor. I come from a middle class family and have money to get by. I have worked very hard for the last 2 years , working two full time jobs – 10 hours each day to save up some money. However, the last 8 months have been tough with both my husband’s patients being diagnosed with terminal cancer and the mother passed away very recently and tragically at the age of just 55. My husband is in acute depression, as one should be. Losing both parents is not easy. I had to travel to India three times within 2 months to be able to support him. Almost $8000 was spent just in round trips. I was fortunate enough that I had 2 jobs that allowed me to save up some more. I used that towards renting a nice place for us in Toronto, making two nice trips to help my husband with his depression. Things were getting better but the last few months were so stressful and hectic that my own health was neglected and I ended up with severe anaemia, vitamin D deficit, some recurring internal infections, stress induced hormonal imbalance as well. My health is so badly compromised that even working one job became stressful. I was mentally burnt out. However I cannot leave my job as my husband was unemployed for about a year trying to look after his parents back home. I was the sole earning member. But I cannot do it anymore. My health is not permitting me. I tried to set up some in-home businesses such as catering but it is not reaching the right audience and it’s a massive failure. On top of that, my new manager at work was very disrespectful and racist, and I was compelled to quit my primary job which is why. Now I have a family to look after, a husband to take care of but with poor health and no job. I interviewed for atleast companies recently and applied for 200+ jobs if not less, but no luck. There are so many layoffs around that it’s very tough to find a job. I have the drive but I have no way. Even if I can save up on rent for a few months, it would mean so much. I cannot give up at this point. I come from a developing country where women empowerment doesn’t exist and I have struggled a lot to come this far. I do not want to fail. I perform so much charity myself that I cannot afford to end up with no money. I recently gave away $1000 for a cancer treatment of someone I knew. I thought I will recover that amount by working very hard. But I don’t have a job myself. I do not know what I can ask for or how much is enough. But if I can please request you to pay a few months of rent or help me buy a house that would great. That way I can use my leftover savings and take the time to support myself, my family and take care of our mental health too. Thank you in advance
