UPDATE: As of 4/17/2020, I have completed 15 POEMS for $! THANK YOU!
AS OF MARCH 16th, 2020 DUE TO THE SPREAD OF COVID-19 AND THE CLOSURE OF ALL RESTAURANTS AND BARS IN SALT LAKE CITY UTAH FOR 30 DAYS, I HAVE NO INCOME SOURCE (I WORK FULL-TIME IN A LOCAL PUB BREWERY).
UPDATE: On Friday, March 20th, I was officially LAID OFF INDEFINITELY from my job at Squatters Pub Brewery in Downtown Salt Lake City. They gave us no financial compensation and LAID OFF approximately 98% of staff including management.
UPDATE: I received my first unemployment check on March 31st! This has helped so much. My unemployment check is not a lot a mere $270 (after taxes) but it helps pay the bills and buy food right now while I apply for online jobs.
I am currently looking for Remote work only in the following fields: copywriter, content writing, web content writer, freelance writer, technical writing, SEO marketing writer, journalist etc.
Until I get back on my feet, I am offering personalized handwritten poems to anyone who sends me any $ during this time. Any amount I would be deeply grateful for and would help me survive this next month.
When donating via Venmo, please put your email address and “poem/poetry” in the comment/’paid for’ section so I can contact you and send you your personalized poem. I send a scanned copy of your poem to you via email (pdf/jpeg), then (if you’re comfortable with it) I mail out your poem with a thank you card within 24-48 hours after I email your scanned copy.
If you are interested in helping out other service industry/restaurant employees during this time of hardship, I have posted Venmo links of all my fellow employees (who want to participate) that desperately need any $ help right now. My main concern is for my fellow employees: servers, bartenders, expos, bussers, etc who worked at Squatters Pub Brewery and Wasatch Brew Pub.
Any help $ I deeply appreciate, Thank you so much.
Cheers!
