Chelsie's fund to not be homeless
Donation protected
Hello everyone, my name is Chelsie. I have/am hitting the rock bottom times that many of us Americans have been hearing about due to the economy and lack of available employment to those that are highly qualified. I had a wonderful career, steady income that easily paid my bills and gave me that little extra to put away for a rainy day fund. About 1 1/2 years ago, that all came to a grinding hault. My nest egg has vanished, as well as my retirement that I had spent 15 years working to build. I have spent that time trying and trying to find stable and consistent work; to no avail. I am either over or under qualified. 7-11 and Target have turned me away...all because I posess too much experience and too much education. I have managed to make ends meet due to money I have pocketed away, selling non-essential items and, unfortunately having to ask for assistance from friends and family - some have, some have decided that they cannot, and some have decided they will not. I am on the verge of being evicted, and have a total of $0.28 in my bank account. I am at the bottom of my rope - and for many of you that know me...that says something that has never come out of my mouth. What I am asking - oh, so humbly - as it is not my nature to ask for assistance, especially like this - is for just a little help to get out of eviction for this month, and beginning mid-April I will have my chance at a fresh start as an Interpretation Ranger in Montana at Pompey's Pillar. The funding would also help immensely in covering the travel cost for the career transition. I understand, this is a lot to ask for. I understand, it is nobody's fault but my own...but the idea of loosing all of my prized prossessions that I still have and my 2 critters who are more like children and best friends rather than just animals, this could be a life changer, a life saver. I am out of options, and almost out of hope. I am clinging on with white knuckles, by a thread, and hoping and praying that my friends might be able to help me out in this dire time of need. This entire experience is so foreign to me, I just cannot believe I am living it day to day - the stress is about to take over, and this is not living. I am honestly terrified. So, please, if you can help at all - I would and would always be so grateful and thankful, always. And when I'm back up on my feet, I will pay it forward 10x as much and as often as possible.
