Five of Pentacles as the card of the day

You trudge through the snow, wrapped in a thin cloak, feeling as if the whole world walked past without noticing you. But lift your eyes, because a warm window glows close by, and it isn't locked to you. The need today is real, yet help is nearer than you let yourself believe.

The question this card asks

What door are you afraid or ashamed to knock on for help right now?
