Would anyone be willing to help me out? I made a go fund me to try to get enough money to pay my rent because I lost my job a few weeks ago and I don’t know what to do other than ask others for help which is something I struggle greatly with.

Look into food pantry in your city to save money on food. It’s sounds annoying but print some resumes and literally go into places and say you’re desperate for a job. If they tell you to do online application make list on your phone and do them as soon as you get home. If you have a car DoorDash , uber, and favor have a few day processing then you can start working. Rover is site for dog walking in majority of cities. It good for some money. Don’t travel , don’t make unnecessary purchases

If you wouldn't filed for unemployment as soon as you lost your job you would've had the money by now to pay your rent

Plus keep your go fund me. When it’s a few days from rent if you don’t have it pack up yours things. It sad, sucks and annoying. But it’s better to be prepared and not locked out with nothing. Move in with a friend or family

No the fuck you don't. I don't get you people. Why do you let one person tell you anything and you just roll with what they say like they're a genius. Uh no you don't. If you didn't quit your job it doesn't matter

It's so not about that. Like why didn't your own parents tell you this?

So understand, if you use Cash App frequently you can do the borrowing thing. I think it gives up to $250, then you pay it back the next month. You can also get basic credit card with capital one using your last jobs income or prediction of your new income. It sends you card within two weeks but you can use virtual card within two days. It’s not ideal but you do what you gotta do to make rent and have food.

Clearly you have a better relationship with your family than I do. I’m sorry I didn’t understand unemployment benefits and trusted the word of someone else. Sorry my parents haven’t been able to help me and tell me things about this. It was already difficult enough to make a go fund me as embarrassing at it is but then to make this post. So sorry I asked. May you never been in the same position I am right now and have to do the same

This is the worst advice ever. You're literally telling someone how to get themselves in deeper debt. Why are you telling somebody to borrow and they have no job?

Cause they have interviews and the will get a job again. It’s a lot better than full panic. I’m giving them options Incase go fund doesn’t work out.

No you've embarrassed yourself. You didn't have to tell the world this but you did. I've almost been on out on my ass too. But the world didn't know about any of it until right now. Stop with the victim crap. You live and you learn. This raggedy internet isn't going to save you. You got some nut telling you how to keep begging putting yourself in more debt. Go find your local workforce office and tell them what you've told these people on this internet. That needs to be done first thing Monday

Dude do you know how to put a response in one text box and not be rude while talking. I’m just giving them choices. Choices I’ve made before in their similar position. It worked out fine. You just hope and cross your fingers. If you don’t agree with me you don’t have to say anything to me. You can just keep going about your scrolling.
