SEGASister Emergency Unemployment Fund, organized by Rachel Velez
Hey, guys. It’s the SEGASister here. For the past month or so now, I have been unemployed. While I am waiting to hear from the New York Department of Labor on my unemployment status, I have tried to apply for other work positions. Hell, I was looking for other work before leaving my previous job. So far, zero luck on either front.
So, as much as I don’t want to do this, I feel like I need to set up a fund to hold me over for six months until I find another job. Hopefully, it doesn’t take me another two years or so, and hopefully, I am approved for unemployment, but still, having this emergency fund would be very helpful.
I’m asking for $7.5k, so I can reliably contribute to rent while living with my partner, pay for my bills, and have a little extra in case it takes longer for me to find employment. If you’re not able to, please spread this around wherever you can. Regardless, thank you for reading.
