Been looking for work for 3 months now
I'm on my last week until rent is due, and I have nothing to pay towards it. I think I'll be okay until march, being that my source of help is more likely to pull through than not. I have been putting Resumes out left and right, and still nothing concrete. I can only imagine a lot of others on here who are going through a situation similar to mine. Not that I have given up hope, I just feel down and out right now about it, and worried.
I am sorry things have been difficult for you lately Amber Vines but they will get better! I think the best thing you can do is speak to your landlord and let them know your situation. It's much better for them to know than to be left in the dark.
