I wish you luck, but there are warning flags in your appeal. Do you have someone to talk to about the "some reason" that your other leads/gigs/contacts have gone cold?

You can find some background if you read through the comments. It's reasonable to not want to have your history right up at the top.

I feel really uncomfortable having my name being public, I would appreciate it if you deleted the comment mentioning my name. I really appreciate the help though.

Where are you located and why can't you post the link right here for your LinkedIn/Github?

Sorry I feel uncomfortable about this situation and didn't want to show who I was publicly. if you email me at the above email I will gladly give you more info about me.

That's sensible, as this would be part of your permanent (online) record, of course.

Still, you should at least mention what city you're in/near (presumably in the US?), and if you'd be willing to relocate - if that's even a possibility, at the moment.

Someone who otherwise might not respond might change their mind if they realize you're nearby.

Beyond that, best of luck; don't hesitate to ask for help from everyone around you; try to keep your emotional stability (this too shall pass); and fight hard to avoid too much debt (the credit cards will happily suck the life out of you, and right now they're about to raise your APR, if this hasn't happened already).
