Help a New Meteorologist Keep His Home and Car

I'm Charles Clottin, a newly graduated meteorologist from Rochester, NY. I spent years working 45-hour weeks while finishing my degree. Right as I graduated, my hours were cut by 75%, and fallout from pandemic-era identity theft has blocked me from unemployment benefits. I've fallen behind on the basics while I work to land a full-time forecasting role.

Here is exactly where your help goes:

1. Rent (4 months behind): $4,000
2. Car payments (2 months behind): $1,100
3. Car insurance (renewal plus paying ahead): $3,150
4. Student loans (5 months behind): $850
5. Winter tires and brakes, so I can safely drive and chase winter storms: $1,600
6. Weather research equipment: $1,250
7. Cloud servers, data services and AI tools for DOC WEATHER AI: $1,300

Total: $13,250

For the past two years I've been building DOC WEATHER AI, a weather tech and media project, and sharing forecasts with my growing audience. This support keeps me housed, keeps my car on the road, and keeps me forecasting while I get back on my feet.

Even $10 helps, and sharing this page matters just as much. I'll post an update every time a bill is paid. Thank you for standing with me.
