I have carried a job all my life and have been to stubborn to ask for help. I am in between jobs at this time but should be back to work by next week. With the ridiculous rise in costof virtually everything we use today, cost of living has taken its toll. Over the past couple years, we have lost both dad's as well as a brother. My mother became homeless, and with the price of every day commodities, as well as utilities. My account has slowly been depleted, as my wage did not follow suit. I work in construction and have for the past 25 years. My experience and knowledge is up with the best of them but over the past 4 or so years, cost of living has outpaced my industries wage average and construction is no longer good money as it was years ago. That brings me here, to swallow my pride and be human and ask for a hand. With the time frame of finding and securing another job, I find myself in a position that I will not be able to cover all the bills this month. I have been fighting with the city over the past couple months over my city bill with has been over 400.00. We have leak tested, potholes, and inspected the lines under the house to only find a couple of minor leaks. Furthermore I am waiting on the next bill to see the difference. Electric is already pushing 400 this month and of course rent.  Ttherefore, I am asking for a little bit of help to keep us above water and make it through this transition between jobs. I would appreciate deeply any help anyone can afford at this time. I am currently job seeking and already had a interview that went very well so I don't  iintend to be out of work very long. 

Thank you for your time and generosity.
