Hi I’m Kenzie! Last month I lost my job due to my mental health becoming too much of an issue to keep up with the job. I’ve since started working a part time seasonal position but due to being out of a job for a bit and missing a few paychecks, I’m stuck in a rut. I have nothing to pay my rent with right now, the money I have earned at my part time job has been automatically taken for my other overdue bills from the last month. I am working with a case manager and have tried getting assistance from programs in my area but they are all at capacity for what they can give. My partner who I live with is a full time student and has been battling medical issues that impact his ability to work. Me being out of work for that month has hit us hard and I feel like I’m drowning! I’m working on nailing down a stable full time job as a nanny again, something I’m passionate about and miss doing so I know it will be great! But this attempt to catch up has brought me down so far and I don’t know what else to do. I’m at risk to be evicted soon and I fear that my whole life will crumble around me if that happens. If you’ve got any help to offer this holiday season I will be endlessly grateful. My rent is just over $1600 with the late fee and I’m hoping to get a bit extra to help prepare for next month as well as I’m rebuilding. Thank you for your time and your generosity! Much love <3
