so.
i never thought i’d be one to make this kind of post.

i will preface this with the understanding that this is a stretch / one i’m actually super uncomfortable even doing, but even the strongest of folk sometimes have to ask for help, so here goes nothing.

i’m kind of extremely fucked at the moment. about two months ago, i left my job somewhat unwillingly because of the major schedule cuts they’ve done. i was working a consistent 35+ hours a week, which was more than enough to support me and my needs. they suddenly cut my hours down to approximately 12 hrs and at 9.00 an hour, that was a huge hit toward my finances. i do not have my own car because it’s 2017 & cars are expensive as all hell. i come from a family where nothing is handed to you so if i want a car, i have to earn it myself. which is fair, but it doesn’t make it less shitty. since i catch the bus, i have to have my bus fare… and with those hours, i was practically paying just to go to work and come home. if i couldn’t pay my bills, then what was the point? so i left and looked for something different.

so far, i have had nothing turn up. there lies the problem, as my landlord has been extremely kind and generous. i have not been able to pay my part of the apartment rent. i’ve already borrowed what i could from my parents, but they are not money trees unfortunately. i’m now up to $660 due to them. 

this is where things start to suck. i was fine. i’d sold a couple of things and chatted with friends who could help and i made up most of what i’d owed so far. i had the money situated on my roommate’s bed and all was well. until i found out that my apartment has been broken into because someone decided to leave our backdoor unlocked. that money, along with many other things? gone. i can stay calm in the worst of storms, i really can. but this has been a hit on the head with a sledgehammer and i don’t know what i can do from here. i was literally informed today that my landlord cannot allow my presence in the apartment any longer and that i have to leave by wednesday. that’s in two days. 

i’m scrambling to figure out how 1) to pay what’s necessary so i don’t have to leave & 2) to make up for the money that was lost to me. this is why i’m on this computer, typing up a plea for some kind of donation from you guys. i seriously am biting back my pride trying to do this but i honestly don’t know where else to turn. this community has been so kind to me and i feel awful even knowing that i’ve gotten to this point. if you have it in your heart to help, it would be greatly appreciated.

i don’t know what i can do to pay you back. a video, icons, whatever you’d want, i could do. there would be nothing that would amount to how i feel about your support. if you can do anything & you have it in your heart to help, please do. my paypal email is omiijstubbs@yahoo.com. thank you all so much.
