Struggling to recover & need assistance

Donation protected
My name is Melissa and I am currently struggling after a series of misfortunes. After my car being mpounded preventing me from getting to work i had to borrow money from several people to make ends meet and slowly paying them back has put me more in debt. Unfortunately, over the past several years I have had many hardships that has drained my savings account to the point of near homelessness. I have worked multiple jobs to make ends meet up until recent layoffs causing me to work as a karaoke host 4 days a week for only $100 a day. My bills, including car payments, car insurance, student loan, rent, storage, and phone bill are now at a pick and choose month to month right now as I look for more work. I was supposed to have an MCL surgery last August on my right knee but couldn't afford to take 3 weeks off of work for the recovery only to be fired in October due to low sales as a bartender. August my car was totalled as I waited over a month for my insurance company to pay my outstanding loan and myself the value of the car leaving me 3 days to buy a new car while I was struggling with a torn MCL and 2 jobs. Now that I have leased a new vehicle and I have lost my major bill paying job, I struggle daily trying to feed myself and sometimes just ask for snacks, friends to send uber or door dash food or leftovers to get through the week. I have been too prideful to ask for help that I am now drowning again and hoping there are some good souls who can help. If you know me you know I was always the person who had given her last dime to whomever needed it and now the ones I've helped can't help me. I am lost and hopeless asking for a bit of kindness to help pay bills and rent for a short time while i try to get back on track.
