This is My Fight Song

This isn’t easy to write, but I’m at a place where I need to ask for help.

Since experiencing a three-week gap in pay between jobs, I’ve been living paycheck to paycheck—constantly trying to catch up, but never quite getting there. Right now, my bank account is sitting at a negative balance of -$332.38, and the stress is honestly overwhelming.

I’m receiving my final paycheck this Friday, but half of it is already committed to paying off a payday advance loan. Another portion is going toward my furniture payment—leaving me with very little to cover my basic needs or dig myself out of the negative.

I’m doing everything I can: job hunting daily, applying for unemployment, SNAP, and Medicaid, and even looking for freelance writing opportunities to try and supplement my income. Still, the reality is that I need support to make it through this rough patch.

If anyone is in a position to help in any way—financially, by sharing resources, or simply with kind words—it would mean more than I can put into words. Every little bit helps and is deeply appreciated.

Thank you for reading and for being in my corner.
