DoorDash accepts anyone with a car, insurance, and a clear background check. They also pay well as far as side hustles go. It takes probably less than a week to get started & they have a DailyPay option, where you can transfer your earnings for the day into your checking account. Best of luck to you.

man .. I’m soo sorry to hear that . The breakfast club was giving away money not to long ago , some of the stories were heartbreaking . Some of them mentioned their cash app and my ass even donated something .

might be personal but do you have a cash app or anything ? I know folks said it isn’t secured per se but .. I could donate a few dollars . Other than that .. I know Kroger and target are hiring . 13-15 an hour .

Sell feet pictures . I do that from time to time . For a day , I can make a good 100.. that’s if I really really tend to it for that day .

Call centers seem to always be hiring and you get paid for training. Most are remote.

This is good advice. Call centers have such high turnover that they hire everyone. I would only recommend it for short time thought because it is pretty miserable.

Become a contact tracer. Take the contract tracer course at Johns Hopkins Univ through Coursera and apply via Indeed and other career websites.

These are all really helpful. Ill start with the Reddit ideas. I dont have a Cash app, only Paypal, and i hate asking for money, especially in a time like now that everybody needs the money they have for themselves. but these suggestions mean so much to me, yall have no idea!

Like the above poster said, become a contact tracer. Or a COVID swab tester. Some pay as much as $25/hr. Grocery stores are really looking for help at this time as well. Good luck OP

Try Arise Work from home platform and if you like tutoring online try Camby and Preply. I actively work for all 3 companies.
Arise is a work from home platform where you are a call center rep for companies like home depot, Comcast etc.
Comcast pays its agent 14.50 per hour plus incentives. All you have to do is pay for training take calls during training and then you're paid.

Preply is where I tutor foreign students as well as American students and I take out cash when ever I want.
Cambly pays every Monday and all you have to do is speak to foreign student

Are there any construction sites near you? You could make A huge mess of spaghetti and meatballs or some other cheap meal and sell them plates for 7-10 dollars

this might not be doable this month, but maybe in the months coming .

I've also done all three jobs from home before the pandemic. It paid all my bills.
Its work from home opportunities out there. I can help. Been doing it for over 5 years now

If you have any post secondary science credits, many hospitals and testing centers are looking for lab techs and assistants

Many also seem to be hiring people with only high school diplomas right now.

My friend told me about Arise but I was a bit confused on how to seek employment. I will have to re circle to the site .

Are any Dollar Trees in your area? They are hiring right now.

A good friend manages one and he needs people like crazy.

If you can, visit one and ask if the store manager is in and if they're hiring the store manager will give you all the info you need to apply online.

Onboarding is usually complete in 2 days.

Best of luck, OP.

Fedex /UPS might be hiring in your area for package handlers if you can stand moving boxes and willing to work shifts others don't want to work. Nights...

Fast food/grocery stores. I know you sold your car so I don’t know how that would work for you.

Mturk and Swagbucks. Can get you a couple of dollar.

Food delivery. Try one of the gig apps and apply for amazon as a delivery person

If you have a degree see if you can apply for substitute teaching in your school district. Market research. I am praying for you. I really am. You will make it. Stay in faith!

OP (or anyone), only you know your boundaries & intuition. However...*if* you're comfortable with it, that font wasn't exaggerating. Foot fetishists are crazy common, and some of the easiest money there is. And it's not just 'sexy' feet in heels either. Some will literally pay extra for you to mail them your sweaty smelly socks lol.

Anyway, best of luck! One way or another I know you'll get through this. :emoji_fist:

You can apply for Amazon as a wholefoods store shopper! They start at 15 and you dont even have to interview just send your resume and do a background check and your hired!! You are your own boss and you pick up hours as much or as little as you'd like!! Good luck boo!!

Call Centers - Depending on the center, you might not even have to take actual calls until a month or so into training. So if you are really trying to avoid the "call" part of the job, get that paycheck for those first few weeks then skiddadle when y'all start taking calls.

Assisted Living / Nursing Home / Caregiver- Another option if you're comfortable taking care of other people in this climate.

These places have high turnover rate unfortunately BUT for that same exact reason they are ALWAYS hiring. Work these temporarily until you come across something more desired.
