I moved to Austin a few months ago thinking I had a great job all lined up. I moved not just for a better job, but to help my youngest daughter that is grown, but after letting her move in with me when she fell on hard times only seemed to make her situation worse. She was suddenly unemployed and staying out all night and sleeping all day. Making a total mes of my apartment. I know that the easy response is to say, just kick her out. If you have never been in that situation, that is not as easy as it sounds even with an adult child. I decided to start looking for another job here in Texas and that I would just move far enough away so she would be forced to start acting like the adult she is. It worked and she is now back on track. Unfortunately things did not work out so well for me. I used all I had to move here and then lost my job in October. I have a new job that starts in January, but I have exhausted all my savings, credit cards and family I had to help through this temporary problem. I have always been the one donating and never the one needing to ask for help. I am a little embarrassed that to reach out at my age, but in the end my sacrifice allowed my adult daughter to finally finish growing and to be a mother to her five year son that has been waiting for that to happen as well. I know that it is Christmas and that the focus is on families with small children right now. Mine are all grown and I have no other family to ask for help. Friends have children still living at home and can’t help either right now. I am asking for prayers and to share this message with anyone that may be willing to help. I have secured a job that starts January 11th. I just have to get through this short time where my saving ran out.
I started a fund raiser t online to try and raise the money I need to get through to my first paycheck. I am willing to prove the need because I know how many scams go round this time of year. I have copied the web address fo rthe fund raiser. Please share with anyone you think may be willing to help

I am seeking 140 people to donate $25.00 each so I can keep my head above water until I get my first paycheck in January
Thank you so much
