COVID cost me a week of work. Bills still exist.

Unfortunately, after 3.5 years, COVID finally sunk its teeth into me. Thankfully it wasn’t TOO bad, but it has cost me a week of work, maybe more depending on when I start testing negative and can go back in. I recently started going back to college for a new degree, so I was already working less than normal, which means losing even just the single week will MASSIVELY impact my ability to pay my bills. I’m single and live alone, so there’s no one around to help pick up the slack a bit. I’m also maxed out on hours at work and because it’s a student job, there’s a lot of weird rules around hours and such that mean I can’t even try and make up my missing hours at all in the coming weeks. So I’m doing this little fundraiser to hopefully make up for the missed work, and pay for some additional little expenses being sick incurred such as food deliveries and various odd “I’m sick and miserable” supplies.

Thank you so much to everyone who helps. It is truly, truly appreciated.
