19 year old, unable to work or find new job, in need of a little help

Kelburn, Wellington

Hi all,

I'm currently 19, living in NZ, and the last few months have been hectic. I have a horrible hip that came from nowhere, and now my blood sugar levels and general vitamins are completely destroyed for no reason. On top of that, I've just come out of hospital with crutches thanks to an accident at work, and likely won't be able to return to my current job (and I've tried).

I cannot support myself anymore, and even with side-gigs and looking for an office job, I'm still stuck in a physically demanding yet low-paying position. With my hours cut, I'll barely be able to afford rent, bills, or medication.

Thanks to the current market for jobs, unless I have a degree or several years experience, I'm screwed! 191 applications, 8 rejections, 6 months. I'm struggling, and even a few dollars would mean the absolute world to me.

Thank you for your time and thank you for everything and anything.

Use of funds

Rent, bills, medical bills, medication, and to keep me afloat until I can find a new job that's less demanding.
