I desperately need your help

Donation protected
i’ve been a member of this board since the end of 2001. Unfortunately I find myself in a very trying situation. Since Covid hit, I had been taking care of my elderly mother. I have been taking lower paying jobs so I would have the time that I needed to spend with her to help her live her life. We agreed it was better to have a job very flexible so I could be home with her when she needed me which was quite often.

In the middle of this year my mother‘s health got a lot worse when she had a stroke. This required my family to move her into an assisted living facility. Every bit of money that she made of her pension and Social Security is now going off of that. I have been left with a very expensive apartment, her car payment and insurance, and all the bills. When they all add up they’re almost double my monthly take up. I’ve gotten a little bit of help my family but they’ve given all they can give. By the end of the month I will run out of money and will be homeless. I have tried every means available to try to get more financial income coming in through charities. But I have not been successful in doing that. I am currently interviewing for much more white-collar professional jobs like I’ve had before Covid.

I’m asking and hoping for the generosity of fellow scoopers, some who I’ve met, would donate some money to give me more time to hopefully get a much better paying job and get my life back in order. To be honest, you guys are my last hope. I am scared to death of being homeless and the fear consumes me daily. My bills add up to around $3200 a month. I’m asking and hoping that I could get $5000 to get me maybe one and a half more months of time to be able to find a better job. Anything that you could do to help would be appreciated more than you’ll ever know. Thank you for reading my story.
