Hi everyone -
This is really a last resort, and it's tough for me to do, but I could use some help if anyone can do so. It's been a difficult last couple of months for my partner and I, and unfortunately, I don't have a lot of options to turn to for assistance.
In mid-January, my partner suffered a mental health crisis that's been ongoing ever since. I don't feel comfortable divulging too many details for his privacy. But it's been a very stressful few months. He ended up spending about a month in an inpatient care program. He was back home for a few weeks, but unfortunately, his symptoms did not improve very much and he is now back in inpatient care again.
Just a few days after his first round of inpatient care, I was supposed to start a new job, but the stress of trying to learn new skills, policies, and programs while also worrying about my partner and his wellbeing just became too much for me, and I ended up leaving my job because of this. I also thought it would be best for my partner for me to be there for him as much as possible while we settled and adjusted to our new reality.
I had saved up some money that I would hope would have lasted me longer, but medical expenses started piling up on top of my general expenses like rent, groceries, bills, etc., and I don't have enough to sustain us for more than a few more weeks. I've been searching for a new job, but I haven't had much luck in finding one. So if anyone can donate whatever they can give to help us during this time, I would appreciate it.
I've never done anything like this, and I wouldn't be doing it if I thought I had a better option for assistance elsewhere. You never really plan or think you're going to be in a situation like this until it happens. But I very much appreciate the kindness friends familiar with our situation and those that have reached out to me have shown.
Every little bit helps and would be appreciated. Even if you can't donate, a signal boost or reblog would be very much appreciated as well. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this and if you're able to help at all. I really do appreciate it. If you would like to donate you can do so via the link below, thank you.

I'm really sorry to reblog this again, but I'm really struggling to keep on top of my finances and if you're able to help at all I appreciate it so much. Unfortunately my partner has been back in inpatient care, but should hopefully be discharged tomorrow. Since he's been out of inpatient care the last 3 months or so, his family thought it best we move in with them for some time while he hopefully re-adjusts. Instead of me trying to manage his condition all on my own. But since they live out of state, now I also have find a way to finance our move and probably get rid of most of my things to try and lower the costs.
I haven't had much luck in finding a new job. I've applied to 65+ different places in the last 3 months and have only heard back from 2 of them, and neither reached out to me again past my initial interview. So I'm at a loss. I had to max out 2 of my credit cards last month just to pay our rent and try and stay on top of bills. I don't know what I'm going to do or how I'm going to make it through the week. Even if you're not able to donate, if you could please signal boost this post I'd greatly appreciate it. I just don't know what to do anymore.
