Pay my Actor Union fees to keep my job

PLEASE do not make a donation unless you are in a very good financial place and would like to help.

Hi my name is Kais and I am fundraising my acting Union fee, I have received a letter from the SAG-AFTRA Union telling me that I must join before February 8 otherwise I am no longer allowed to work at any Union production which means I will very much be out of work if I don't join by then. The initiation fee is $3000, I quit my job a little less than two years ago and I have decided to chase my dreams and do everything I can to be a working actor, I have been doing well since then working within the industry I knew about the union and I knew that they will be reaching out eventually but I was really hoping that it would not be this soon. I have previously saved up to join but unfortunately, I got into a car accident and my insurance plan does not cover my car it was a complete loss so I had to use the money I saved for a vehicle so I can keep working.

I am in a bad financial situation and cannot afford it at this time so I'm trying to find solutions to get through this to be able to keep doing what I love and this is one of the ideas that popped up.

This is not an emergency I can eventually figure this out maybe get a different job and save up until I reach my goal so please do not feel the need to donate only do so if you want to and you are in a good financial place.
