Help Kelly Keep Her Housing Situation & Car
Donation protected
Hi there, folks.
My name is Kelly Meharg and I am a 30 year old gal living in the mountains of Western North Carolina. It has always been my dream to live here and now I do and I am in constant awe - I've lived here for almost 2 years now and am absolutely loving it, more and more each day. Up until recently, I had been working for my dad since I was 16 and had lived by myself. Recently something terrible happened with his business so I had to be let go, which sent the world that I knew into complete disarray. With all of this happening, it completely changed the lives of the entire family, having to completely start over is what it feels like. I lost my job that I had worked for for so long, I lost the place that I was living in and there's a potential that I could lose my car because of not being able to make the monthly payments that keep adding up. Currently I'm living with a friend and am working driving jobs trying to keep up but I feel like I am drowning financially - I feel like I can't keep up and it is a very defeating feeling. I don't feel comfortable enough working at a shop in public these days because when I was working at a shop, I ended up getting COVID and losing work and money because of it. I'm also wanting to work on my candle business (which is my absolute dream of a job) but I can't even do that because I'm running so short on supplies and can't buy more because I don't have the money to do anything. All I want to be able to do is make my product and share them at the markets, and then in stores, etc. There are just too many payments and behind bills and it's all piling up and it is absolutely nerve-wracking and I'm not able to do anything at the moment. I'm trying so hard to keep my head up to see the light, but sometimes things are just so dark and it's hard to find hope during those times. I try so hard to remind myself that things will be okay. They will be okay. I know there are so many things going on in the world - COVID, racial injustice, politics, and the list goes on - so I know things are truly very difficult for everyone right now. Especially with lack of work due to COVID. I am so grateful for everything that I have in this life and sometimes I feel so bad talking about my situation just because of everything else going on in the world, and how so many people have it much worse than I, but I realize that doesn't lessen the value of my situation, and I'm trying so hard to remind myself of this. I really hate to come on here and ask for help, but I've gotten the reminder lately time and time again that it is okay to ask for help. There is no shame in asking for help. Sometimes all we are able to do is ask for help. So here I am, asking for help.
Thank you so much in advance to anyone who feels the pull to help out. You have no idea how much I appreciate your kindness. <3
