Help Jesse and Stella

I never imagined I would be in a position where I’d need to ask for help like this, but I’ve run out of options and now find myself facing a situation I can’t manage on my own.

Over the past year, I made some difficult decisions that have left me in a precarious position. A year ago, I chose to leave behind a stable job, home, and career to move to a new state with my then-boyfriend. Unfortunately, a series of emergencies, including his apartment flooding and car troubles, led me to deplete my savings to support him. Despite promises to repay me, he did not, and after our breakup, I continued to assist him financially, further straining my resources.

Following the breakup, I allowed his best friend, who was unemployed, to stay with me. For seven months, I shouldered all living expenses, including rent, groceries, and even $1,000 for his car repairs. He assured me he would repay me once he started working again, but he has not, and recently moved out with only two days' notice to be with his girlfriend.

In April, I lost my job of five years due to restructuring. I quickly found work at Cedar Point, but my current wage is not enough to cover my accumulated debts, and I am now facing eviction. Despite my efforts, I have been unable to secure loans / negotiate with my landlord, and am unable to make the payments needed to stop the eviction process.

I am humbly asking for assistance to catch up on rent and other overdue bills. My goal is to eventually pay back anyone who can help me now, but I’ve reached a breaking point and have no other choice but to reach out for support.

If you can help, I would be incredibly grateful. If not, I completely understand. I only ask that you not judge me for making this request. This past year has taught me some hard lessons, including the importance of not letting my desire to help others put my own security at risk.

My main priority is to keep a roof over my head for myself and my dog, Stella, and to set myself up for a more stable future. Thank you for your kindness and understanding.

God bless.
