I Was Robbed and Left with Nothing Here’s How I’m Trying to Get Back on My Feet | by CoolPaws Co | Jul, 2025

A few weeks ago, my life turned upside down.
I was the victim of an in-house robbery not a break-in from a stranger, but something that happened in my own space. They took everything: my work laptop, my phone, my rent money, my school documents, even my baby’s tablet and school bag.
I can’t lie, it broke me.
I’ve been struggling since. I had no backup plan. No safety net. And honestly, I didn’t know what to do next.
But I’m not the type to sit still and do nothing.
While searching for ways to stay afloat, I came across Amazon Associates, a program where I earn a small commission if someone signs up or shops through my link. It’s not a miracle fix, but it’s something and right now, something means everything.
I’ve been trying to share my link on social media, but I don’t have a big following. It’s really hard to get sign-ups when you’re starting from zero. That’s why I’m writing this here, just being real and asking for help.
There’s a current offer where:
- College students can get 6 months of Amazon Prime for $0
- Young adults aged 18–24 (even if you’re not in school) can get 50% off Prime membership
You don’t have to buy anything. All you’re doing is successfully signing up and when you do, I earn a small commission that helps me get one step closer to rebuilding what I lost.
Even if you can’t sign up right now, just reading this or sharing it means the world to me.
Sometimes life knocks us down, and we just need a hand to stand back up.
Thank you for being here.
