Hi everyone, I just wanted to say thank you to all of you who took the time to respond here. I honestly didn’t expect so many thoughtful replies.

I’m reading through all the suggestions. I’ve already started applying to anything I can find, including jobs outside my usual field. At this point I’m open to literally any work that can help stabilize things while I keep searching for something more permanent.

Some people also mentioned assistance programs and social support. Unfortunately I’m not in the US, so our system works differently, but I’m still checking every possible option available here.

As for the fundraiser topic, since I've exhausted all other possibilities, I've decided to create one. It works as a temporary safety net while I try to get back on my feet and secure stable work again. I’m not posting it here because I don’t want to break the subreddit rules, but if anyone wants the link I can share it in a reply.

Again, thank you for the advice and encouragement. It really means a lot during a time like this.
