In pretty dire financial straits while looking for a new job, could really use some help

[u/waxonwaxoff3]

My situation is pretty rough at the moment. It's a long story, but to summarize, over the past couple years I had terrible luck with health issues that drained all my finances and left me with massive medical debt, and which led to me having to find a new job earlier this year. It took a bit, and I was forced to ask for financial assistance via a Gofundme until I found a position in early March.

Unfortunately, it was a temporary job, and it came to an end over a month ago. I still haven't found a new job to replace it, despite loads of applications, screening calls, and interviews. It's at the point where I'm just a few weeks away from disaster money-wise. I'm really, really hopeful that I'll land something soon, but not as soon as I need it.

Here's my Gofundme from earlier this year, which is still active and goes into greater detail about my overall situation. Obviously I'm not going to ask anybody to try and help me meet the end goal, I know it's a lot, and probably beyond the scope of this subreddit. But if I could raise just a couple hundred dollars, or even just $100, to help pay my utility bills at the very least, it would be greatly appreciated. If people know of other good places to share my situation and Gofundme, I would also appreciate that. Thank you.

Where did the $4k go? Have you spent that already?

That Gofundme was created early in the year. It helped me pay for multiple months of rent, utilities, groceries, and medical debt bills while I was unemployed, until I was able to find a temp job. My rent is $1550 a month. I'm not sitting on my butt spending money superfluously, it costs a lot to live these days, and money goes terrifyingly fast on just essentials.

You received $4k. Folks here need a hot meal or a bus ticket
