Hello reader,
I am here on this website to do one of the hardest things I have ever done, and that is ask for help. I am a person who has always stood on my own and was the one who was the helper, and now I find myself on the other end. Since COVID-19, I have been slowly drowning in financial hardship, with the surmounting debt that I have incurred due to survival and not frivolous spending, I have to swallow my pride and see if I can now be helped. I need to purchase a car to keep the job I recently obtained, my car of over 20 years no longer is reliable enough to get me back and forth to my job. My travel to and from work is about 45 mins to 1.5 hours, depending on traffic that day. Trying to get out of debt, and stay afloat, adding a car payment is not looking good for the budget. Since this is not something I am comfortable doing, I am at a loss for words. I feel embarrassed even though my situation, occurred due to losing my job and not being able to obtain one for several years. Once I obtained my job, I knew that it would not be easy getting out of such a large amount of debt, but I knew I would do what was necessary to do it. I am a proud mature woman and knew from very young that you need to be financially responsible, and while I admit I made my mistakes along the way, I have always bounced back and got on track. Covid-19 took all my savings and retirement funds, and never did I think it would take me so long to return to work. I have always worked hard and looked for ways to keep myself marketable in the work field never considering that my age would hold me back, but this time it did. I am a well-educated individual, with high moral standards, yet life has hit me hard. I believe I still have several good years of working before retiring and need kind, financially stable people to find it in their hearts to help me be able to live and provide for myself by assisting me to purchase a reliable vehicle to get back and forth to work. If after reading this you are someone who can and is willing to help, I want to say thank you and how appreciative I am for your help, no matter how big or small. Just the fact that you are willing to help in itself is greatly appreciated. I know that you will be blessed, God smiles on those who help others in need and shows favor. Never does it say you will never need help, but to help those when you are able, and it will be returned to you. Thank you all for reading this and for whatever you are inspired to do.
God Bless,
