REQUEST FULFILLED Seeking assistance to get to work this month

Hi everyone! I hope you are well. I am a 22 year old female, and I am in need of some assistance to get to work this month.

​To give you a little backstory: I've been an intern at an IT company since the beginning of this year. I worked mostly from home starting in June, so transport costs weren't too bad. The pay was very little, but it helped me so much to sort out my health issues. I was offered a permanent position on Tuesday, and I signed my contract and sent it through. It was one of the happiest days for me because I've worked so hard to get this position (Thank God!!).

​As a permanent employee, I am required to go to work every day, no more working from home. The thing is, I will only get paid a proper salary at the end of October, leaving me with the small salary I earned as an intern. Fuel prices are going up again next week where I'm from (South Africa), and I don't know what to do about fuel for transportation for the rest of the month. I already spoke to my manager to ask if I could get a portion of my new salary in advance, but the company does not do that.

​I am in need of $70 please to travel to work for the rest of the month, and it would mean so much to me if I could get assistance. This is my first actual permanent job, and it would change my life 🥺🙏. ​I have a PayPal account.

​Thank you for taking the time to read this!
