Hi there,

Thanks for taking the time to view my fundraiser. I'm a 31 year old lady in Portland, OR.

I recently got out of an abusive relationship. I signed a lease a few months ago, and spent everything I had on moving expenses. I was employed for part of last year, but lost my job after anxiety & PTSD symptoms got in the way of me being functional. I am in therapy now, and back on the job search. I'm very hopeful for a calm, independent & happy 2018.

My rent is due next week, and bills were due a few days ago and I have about $5 to my name. I am pretty ashamed of being in this situation, and am doing everything I can to make end's meet right now. I don't know what I will do if I can't pay these things.

My rent is $626 & my bills are $125. Anything at all helps right now.

Thanks for considering helping. If you are in Portland, OR and have a little work I can help with - I'd be happy to.

Best wishes and happy new year!
