Hi friends, family, and kind hearts,

I am reaching out to my community today during one of the most difficult chapters of my life.

At the start of this year, in January, I suffered the devastating loss of my mother. Following her wishes, I moved into her home to care for her space and legacy. Just a few months later, I was unexpectedly laid off from my job. Since then, I have been pushing forward with everything I have. I launched my own business, but as it’s brand new, orders haven't started coming in yet. I have also been actively applying for jobs every single day, but I have yet to receive a callback. Between sudden car repair costs, basic living expenses, and keeping up with home bills, my savings have now completely run out.

Where Your Support Will Go I am seeking short-term financial help to bridge the gap until I secure employment or my business gains traction. Your contributions will directly cover:

• Essential Utilities & Housing Bills: Basic expenses paid for keeping my mother's home.
• Transportation: Paying for transportation so I can travel for job interviews and business needs until I can work towards getting a car.
• Basic Needs: Groceries, hygiene supplies, and day-to-day essentials while I job hunt.

How You Can Help Asking for help isn't easy, but any amount you can donate—whether it’s $5, $20, or whatever you can spare—will give me the breath of relief I need to keep going.

If you aren't able to donate, simply sharing this link or keeping me in your thoughts means the world to me. I am determined to get back on my feet, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for reading my story and standing by me.

With love and appreciation,

Auschane Dempsey
