REQUEST Help With Rent

Good morning! I have been a massage therapist for more than 35 years, but my hands are now arthritic and I can no longer do that work. I am actively looking for a job, but it's been a bit rough because I'm in my 60s and my resume shows that I've only worked for myself for the last 30 years. I'm selling everything I can, I am scheduled to donate plasma next week, so hopefully I will qualify. I fill out applications for paid focus groups and surveys daily. I am making an effort but I am quite behind now in my rent and facing possible eviction. I'm making a little bit of money here and there but it's not enough.

My rent is $635, and I know that is more than is typically asked for and fulfilled here, but even if I only get half of that it will make a huge difference. Thank you in advance to anyone who is kind enough to help. I just need to get through this rough time to get back on my feet. I hope everyone is having a great day. 😊

Unfortunately looking for rent money the day before it is due is hard to collect . Try family and friends. A gofundme cant be collected that fast. Try disability for long term help. Good luck.

You will not raise that much cash here. Normally suggestions of donating plasma, putting up a gofundme (time is issue there) or selling anything you might have.
