The amount you're looking for needs to be clearly stated, even then, at is far too much for this sub. A Gofundme is your best bet.

Apologies as this is my first time asking for assistance and didn’t know. And apologies again as I’m very new to asking for any help - if I make a GoFundMe how do I get people to donate (I’ve never made one), who donates?? & will I be able to get assistance quick enough? this isn’t something I’d like to publicly post on my fb as it feels a bit embarrassing as I do have old colleagues, old clients , friends from childhood

Friends who know you and trust you are far more likely to chip in over internet strangers.

This. That’s also why a gofundme is helpful. It protects the people donating. You can create a campaign and add it to this post and the gofundme subs

Is there a way to feed out the post? Because as I mentioned I have old colleagues and clients as well & if they see me going through financial difficulties, asking for help, I feel they would be less likely to work with me on projects on future.

Why would you be driving roundtrip ? She's likely to need help for a while. How will you cover the weekly rental while you are there. I dont think you will be coming back any time soon.

I unfortunately can’t stay for an extended period of time, I do have interviews lined up for after the holiday period- an in person to occur on the 6th & another on 9th. I’ve been interviewing for the few weeks leading up to holiday so I do have some that are progressed & I must be ready to start / be prepared if I get ‘the call’ .

We are in the works of aligning that one of her friends will be able to come down for a bit as she does have PTO that is rolling over into the new year (she must request/plan PTO in advance). So I thought if I could even just assist with her first week or so at home adjusting it would be easier than being home alone with a newborn and toddler.
