I Lost My Job for Refusing to Promote an Expensive Phone Plan to Customers. Now, Facing Eviction.

My Story:

It's just me and my cat in the house. She is 16 years old and named Sooh Sooh. I'm a divorced man who is a hard worker and very loyal to the people in his life. Things have not always been easy, but I never give up.

I was working for AT&T for over 13 years but was let go because of a moral issue. They let me go after I couldn't conform to their new sales protocol. The reason I had an issue was because they wanted us to tell customers our offer would save them money when our deal would actually make their bill increase. I spoke up and said I would not lie to customers because it goes against what I believe in, and I was let go after that. It was a tough blow, but I'm proud of myself for sticking to my values. I have been DoorDashing as much as I can to bring in some income, but I've fallen behind due to this lapse in employment.

I am asking for help with my rent, as I'm going to be homeless soon. I would not want to put my cat through that, so I would likely have to find another home for her. Losing her would be absolutely devastating to me. My landlord was gracious enough to extend my due date, but I have no way to come up with the money this month. This payment from Modest Needs would keep me current with my rent and allow me to stay in my apartment. I can keep looking for a job and return to being on time with everything going forward. Thank you.
