First let me say that it shames me terribly to have to do this, but I’m out of options. So I’m swallowing my pride and asking for your help. I was laid off from my job unexpectedly after 8 years due to restructuring of the company. For the past month, I’ve spent every single day sending out multiple resumes, working with a recruiter, and trying to network to get back to work as quickly as possible. I’ve even tried applying for jobs that are way beneath my experience level just to have something that will bring in some money while I continue looking. But those positions have immediately rejected me saying I’m overqualified.
I’ve turned off everything that is unnecessary, but I need to keep my internet and phone so I can continue looking for a job and have a way for people to reach me. I’m eating once a day to save money. Fortunately, I usually buy my pet food in bulk and had just bought food for all my babies, so they’re being fed and well taken care of.
I have a few good job leads, but things aren’t moving fast enough. I’m going to run out of money soon. I only have enough to sustain me for about 2 more weeks. I can pay one more rent and after that, I’m scared to death about what will happen. If I become homeless, I don’t even know where I’ll put all of my belongings or what I’ll do with my furbabies. It breaks my heart to think of giving them up and losing everything. I’ve never been in this position in my life and I’m so scared.
When things were good, I was always the first to help out other people who set up GFM accounts for legitimate reasons. I have huge heart and when I’m able, I’ll help anybody I can. I’m hoping that now that the tables are turned and I’m the one in serious need, there will be some big hearts out there who will help me get through this dark time in my life. For those of you who know me, you know that I would never ask for help if it were not a matter of dire circumstances.
My recruiter told me that it often takes 2-3 months to find a job, but I just don’t have enough money to sustain me that long. I've already been looking for more than a month. I’m desperate to find something quickly! Anything you can do to help will be so much appreciated, I can’t even express my gratitude. I also ask that you pray for me. I know the power of prayer and maybe opening up and telling my friends why I’ve been absent lately from social media will be a good thing and I’ll get a few prayers in return. I’ve been so ashamed for having to start over at this point in my life and the struggle I’m going through and have tried to weather it alone. But I can’t do it by myself anymore. I need help.
The money I'm asking for would carry me through another 3 months if I needed that to find a job. I've sent out more than 50 resumes, so something has to happen soon. I'm spending every waking hour looking for something! Please help me so I don't lose everything.
All my love and gratitude,
Robin
