My name is Julianne! I have had a run of bad luck the past few month. I know everyone has problems every now and then, and some more than others. My story may not be anything to others, but to me it’s a lot.

At the end of January I lost my best friend Payton (my pug), she was everything in the world to me for the 13 years that I had her. It’s going to be 5 months and I still and probably always will feel that a piece of me is missing. I worked from home and she was always by my side on her bed on my desk. Then at the end of February I was laid off from my job with no notice! We came into work at 8 am eastern and at 12 pm eastern we were told that our jobs have been eliminated, to sign off and return our computers. We were given a very small severance that after taxes paid a month of bills and I have been struggling to make ends meet with unemployment. I hope that some can find it in their hearts to just give a little so that I can keep up with my bills. As I said before I completely understand I am not the only person in the world that is struggling, but I would be grateful for whatever I get! I am currently searching for employment and have been on some interviews, but nothing has come through yet.

I am also trying to start my own business at the same time selling handmade jewelry also hoping this gives me a little relief regarding my bills.

Thank you to everyone in advance!
