I've Found Work Again, but I Need Help Purchasing Equipment to Get Started! Please Help.
My Story:
I am a hardworking and compassionate caregiver, and I was working as a client service associate prior to Covid-19 when I lost my job. I have embarked on self-empowerment endeavor to pay my bills and meet basic needs. In my free time, I like to cook and hang out with friends and family. Family is important to me but most of mine are very far away from me, and it can actually feel lonely out here, but I know I must remain focused and hopeful.
After losing my job to Covid-19, I set off on a long journey to find work that could sustain me again. I've been searching for a while, but I've finally found a job that will work for me. I have completed the training and exams needed to be commissioned as a signing agent, but I still lack the tools I need to get my job fully underway. After being out of work for almost a year, I've drained my savings and have been barely getting by, so I don't have anything available to pay for the equipment that I need. A printer and a scanner are the two highest cost items that I need to start working, so I'm humbly asking for assistance with purchasing those two items.
Without work for almost a year, it's a struggle day to day just to get by. If I want to get started at my new job, it could cost me my rent for a month, so it's just not an option. However, with a printer and scanner, I'll be able to start my new job with no problems, and I'll be back on track to becoming self-sufficient again. I'm confident that this job will be able to sustain me for a long time, so I would be extremely grateful to the people out there who help me get started. Thank you for helping me get back to work and back on track again.
