Your friend needs help

Donation protected
Hi guys. It’s Jessica Hough. Some of you know that in March I left my husband of 28 years. I left with enough stuff to fill a 700 sq ft apartment and no support but I had to leave. It has been a difficult road getting myself established but I managed to get an apartment and keep my job which I LOVE! I have given up my entire life as I knew it but it seems I am not done being humbled yet. I have stopped smoking cigarettes and given up my pool leagues. I can no longer afford to give my mom ( who is in a nursing home and living on $90/month) the $100/month I had been giving her to buy some decent, edible food. I’m desperately looking for a 2nd job however I have physical disabilities that prevent me from working the typical 2nd jobs like cashiers or waitresses. I can’t afford to drive DoorDash with these gas prices. It would be a wash. I had taken on a roommate but apparently they got a better offer so they’re gone and have left me with no other foreseeable options than to hit the street corners and hold up a sign begging for money. 

I know I’m not a super sad story or an ultra worthy cause but I am your friend and if I’ve ever helped you in your life and you’re wondering how you could help me back...this is it. Please
