Hi everyone,

​As many of you know, my birthday is this week (November 11th), but instead of traditional gifts, I’m stepping out of my comfort zone to ask my community for a little extra grace and support during an exceptionally tough season.

​Recently, I was hit with an unexpected financial hurdle: my roommate moved out abruptly without notice right before rent was due. Because of this sudden shift, I am currently facing a deficit on my rent and car payment. I’ve already exhausted my personal savings and tapped my retirement buffers twice just to keep things afloat, and I've reached the point where I genuinely need help.

​I have a confirmed work bonus arriving the week of November 22nd that will get me back on my feet, but I just need a bridge to get me through these next couple of weeks without falling behind or risking my housing and transport.

​Any contribution—even just a few dollars—or sharing this link with others would mean the world to me and help me secure my footing.

Thank you so much for reading, for your kindness, and for always having my back!

​With gratitude,

Precious
