This past month has brought a relentless series of unforeseen challenges, starting with unexpected health issues, including an infection that led to time off work. This was quickly followed by costly emergencies, including a necessary vet procedure that caused financial overdraft, and a tire blowout. The accumulation of missed work due to illness and winter storms has left me with no paycheck, mounting bills and significant financial distress, including overdue utilities and approaching rent. I am incredibly overwhelmed and need support to get through this.
