Please help me survive while I find employment

Donation protected
Hi. I am quick to help others but I am terrible at asking for help myself. I am in desperate need for mutual aid and this is the last way I know how to get help. Back in April of 2020, the company that I was working for started culling staff due to the Covid 19 pandemic. I was the most senior member of the team I was on and took a voluntary layoff in order to ensure that a friend who had recently had a child would not lose his job. I took severance and used the rest of that year off to pursue a goal of being a content creator while continuing to do my freelance photo restoration and retouching work. Since then, I have been struggling to find steady employment and the longer that my employment gap becomes, the harder it is becoming for me to get hired.

I have been barely managing to keep my bills paid with savings, credit cards, and by doing freelance digital photo restoration and photo retouching. Unfortunately, my savings are about to be completely tapped, my cards are all maxed out, and my photo work has dried up to the advent of easy-to-use AI tools. I have been actively applying to jobs in my fields of expertise, signing up to talent networks, and have started applying to retail and warehouse positions but I am not having any luck due to the state of our job market.

I don't need much but I am trying to create a cushion for at least another month or two of my bills to be covered while I continue to look for employment. If anyone has remote work or work in Indianapolis in mobile phone tech support or general customer service work, please let me know. Anything that you can spare helps and I am endlessly grateful. Thank you.
