I've been made redundant and need help to pay bills, living costs while job hunting.

Otago

Not easy for anyone to ask for help when losing a job. I never thought I would have to do this but here I am.

I was made redundant about a month ago and I'm running out of money to support myself and family.

I haven't been lazy in applying for jobs. I have applied for about 15 -20! I am highly skilled in Web & Graphic design, Web SEO and Digital Marketing. It has just been a perfect storm of events that has lead to me asking here.

I just need help financially to get going somehow and also set up some advertising for my own freelance business to get some work.

No judgement - just a helping hand. I don't ask for anything from anyone usually but this time it's about more than me.

So if you know what it's like to be redundant and have financial commitments and more then please lend a helping hand.

Thank you and much love to you.

On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
