So I know this is probably going to be a terrible idea, because I already know the comment section is going to try and make me feel like a POS.... But I'm not going to disable them. This is already embarrassing enough and If people feel like rubbing salt in my wound I can't stop them.
So I was maybe once hoping for the kindness of Strangers in the world to help out a fellow struggling person.
I got laid off from my job 3 weeks ago (been a hairstylist/barber for 18 years.) due to layoffs and people on medical leave with more seniority, that are returning.
And Like MOST of America, I live paycheck to paycheck and really relied on my tips as 70%of my income. I am now behind on Rent, Gas and electric, My phone is about to get shut off, food and household toiletries are very very slim and I've been trying to stretch what I can.. Rice and beans, pasta and sauce, Pb+j... Ramen noodles.. Trying to make due.. TMI but I had to bum tampons, Toilet paper, and toothpaste... stuff like that from a friend.
I don't drive right now but when I can I try to receive help from the area food banks.
I was able to get a job interview this week and luckily the bus route is close to and from... so Wish me luck please ❤️
However until then and for a few weeks until I receive a check, I am pretty much destitute.. It's 6$ a day to bus to and from... So if I hopefully receive 5 days a week that's 30$ for transportation..
I am at my rock bottom for a few weeks and as much as I can't believe I'm doing this...
I am asking for any help you are willing to do, to maybe keep me going so my family and myself can keep afloat until GOD willing I get hired and start working on the salon floor again.
If anyone can spare 1$ each or even. 50 cent's or whatever you can do to help out....
I figured that's not asking anything inappropriate of me.
And if enough of you kindhearted people can do that, It will hopefully add up so We can get by for the next week or whenever.
I am not some scammer looking to somehow steal people's Venmo name... And I googled if this is even safe to ask on my end.. Venmo just said to make sure my account is set to private.. which I did and everyone should do for themselves anyway.
Thank you all in advance for any help ❤️
-morano is my Venmo name
Please try to not call me a scumbag in the comments, because I am definitely not.. If you feel the need to.. I hope you never have to ask for help.
Thank you again.
❤️ Nichole
