Help Karina get back on her feet
Donation protected
As some of you may or may not know my life has fallen apart out from under me and I don’t have what I need to get back on my feet.
A little less than a year ago I thought I was on my way to my dream of the future. Dylan and I found the perfect house to move into and start making a family. We started fresh and I got rid of all the things I’d accumulated supporting myself for 4 years.
Getting the house set up was a joy. However, I built up my credit card debt buying small things here and there for the house.
In February I got a new job. This was a great career move, but it meant a pay cut. I moved from the top of the pay scale in baking to the bottom of the scale in management. No Problem. I had the support I needed to make it work. I could make minimum payments until the money got better.
Now that support is gone. My dreams (and my spirit) are crushed. I need first and last month’s rent. I need better credit to qualify for an apartment. I need basic furniture - starting with a bed.
I have no time, no cushion, and no money. Minnie and I can’t couch hop for long. I have an amazing couple taking me in for now. I have a great job and the potential to get back on my feet, just a little further down the road.
Right now, though, in this moment I can’t do it. I’m grieving the loss of a 7 year relationship. I’m trying to hold my head up in the new management position that I love, but the stress and the hours leave me no reserve.
Please help me out in any way you can. Every little bit is a blessing.
