I’m reaching out for help during a really difficult time in my life. In March 2025, I lost my job and applied for unemployment, but after multiple attempts, my claim kept getting denied. While I was waiting for answers, I actively searched for work, but the process took longer than expected and left me without stable income.

Because of this, I fell behind on rent and eventually received an eviction notice. I’ve since taken responsibility and worked out a payment plan, and I’m proud to say I’ve been staying consistent and making progress catching up. In August, I finally secured a job, which has been a huge step forward. However, my current income mostly goes toward paying off the rent I owe, leaving very little for anything else.

Right now, I’m struggling to cover basic necessities like food and essential bills. There have been times where I’ve gone weeks with little to no food, doing my best to stretch whatever I have. I also have a dog—a Rottweiler husky mix—who depends on me, and it’s been tough trying to make sure he’s taken care of too.

I don’t have a car, which adds another layer of difficulty, but I’m still doing everything I can to stay on track and keep pushing forward. I’m not asking for sympathy—just a little support to help me get through this stretch while I continue working and paying off what I owe.

Anything helps, and I truly appreciate anyone who takes the time to read this or contribute. Thank you.
