Pay for my phone

Hi! My name is tiff and I've been out of work for quite some time, not for lack of applying. My cat and I are currently couch surfing as my funds are scarce and low.

Currently I am relying on VoIP services to make calls as I owe T-Mobile about $300. Using a VoIP is not sustainable as tons of services need a valid phone number to fight spam actors using these VoIP numbers as a vector to scam people.

Boost Mobile has the cheapest plans in my area, however my phone is locked to T-Mobile as my carrier and can't be unlocked until I pay that $300 debt to them. I can't afford it right now, as my cat and I are about to move into permanent affordable housing until the job market for software engineers and cybersecurity analysts opens back up.

We just need a bit of a hand to get back on track, so that when I am out on doctors appointments or at the grocery store, I can call for my rides and/or call someone in case of emergency.

If you can help us, thank you! If not, no ill will is felt here. We are all struggling these days.
