For the past 30 years, I have called this house my home and have always taken pride in paying my rent on time. Unfortunately, life threw an unexpected curveball when I lost my car—which was essential for my work.

​I am actively putting in job applications every day to get back on my feet, but I am now facing a deadline to cover my rent by the 15th. Asking for help is something I’ve never had to do, and I truly have nowhere else to turn right now.

​Any contribution, no matter how small, would mean the world to me. To ensure complete transparency, I am more than happy to provide my landlord’s contact information to verify my situation directly. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this.
