ReallyHateToBeAskingThis

Hi y'all :/ As many of you are probably aware - this past year has been extremely hard for me, personally, as I'm sure it has been for many of you post-pandemic. Amidst major life changes, I've been laid off from two jobs this year, haven't been approved for unemployment, and am waiting for assistance from the state of California to help with food + housing costs. I'm down to my last $100 with absolutely no idea where my rent, next meals, food for my dog will come from, which is causing me severe anxiety and depression. As I have struggled this year, I've been reminded of my purpose and still feel aligned that everything will work out, but I'm at a place where I need to ask for help. I've taken steps to secure that this is indeed temporary, having applied for several jobs across several different industries - on top of continuing to pursue a career as an artist - so I know that I won't give up. In the interim, it is just extremely hard for me to remain positive. To all of you who have unabashed support and belief in me, thank you. It's really difficult for me to ask for help in this capacity, but I truly don't know what else to do. I will be forever grateful for any donations received and will work tirelessly to show my appreciation to each and every one of you. Thank you for not giving up on me.
