I am trying to get to the next stage in starting completely over after a devastaing loss. In starting over, I have had to move in with someone, and be dependant on them for a ride to work, along with my living situation. I have been on my job now since June of 2012. The situation I am in now is the person I am staying with is now taking most of my paycheck, leaving me no chance of saving on my own. I can feel the depression sneaking in. I hate to come to this level, but I am left with no option. Being dependant on someone else is not where I need to be. I wanted to get a second job but with no car, I am stuck. I can't save, so I am stuck. These funds would be used to help me buy a car, and move into my own place. I have found a place that I can easily afford, and would also allow me to pay for insurance, fuel, food and utilities. If I don't act now, I don't know when I will come across an afordable housing situation again.It seems anytime I start to save now, the place I am staying increases my rent, making it impossible to get out on my own again. In short form, my life was great up until my mother became ill in 2005. I quit my job of over 5 years making a great salary to become the primary caretaker of my mother. When she passed away in 2006, I did not just lose my mother, I lost myself. I lost purpose. Depression was so deep, and so difficult. I just could not get it together. In 2011 I finally had had enough of the darkness. I am ready to take life back. I hate to ask, but I am determined not to go back to the depression. With these funds I know I will get ahead. I can get a second job, even be able to go back into my field of work, making life easier, and enjoyable. I truly thank you in advance for any amount.
