I realize I'm posting this a bit late, but I'm hoping it's not too late for it to be seen. Like apparently so many others here, I don't like asking for help, so it took me a while to decide to bite the bullet and post.
I've been laid off in August, and I've been looking for work since. Unfortunately, nothing has really panned out yet, but I'm nearly out of funds (due to health issues, I couldn't save nearly as much as I'd wanted to). I recently started part-time work at a farm in exchange for room and board, hoping it would leave me enough time to do remote freelance work to bring in cash, but they just let me go because their own coffers are dry.
Right now, I have almost no cash left, and I came to the nearest big city (Munich, Germany), planning to look for a full-time job in a store or a cafe to keep a roof over my head, and do remote freelancing in the time I'll have available after work. About $500 to cover food and hostel accommodation over the next two weeks would be a major boost that would make my job search much easier, as I only have money for about two days of food and housing, and without any extra funds, I suppose I'll have to spend time every day after that figuring out food and housing.
Also, I realize it's a very big ask, but if $1.5k were somehow possible, that would probably change my life, as I would have enough to cover food and hostel lodging until I get my first monthly paycheck from the new service or retail job, assuming I can get it in the next week or two. That would give me stability again, and I would have a much higher chance of keeping that new job, which in turn would give me a much higher chance of achieving stability again long-term.
I hope it goes without saying that I tremendously appreciate any help at all. Of course, I'll be happy to provide any additional information, at any time. Once again, Alexander, thank you so much for offering to help in this way.
