Hello everyone,
For the zillionth time I must again request some #MutualAid help. We're past due on auto insurance again, the storage unit is due next week, I've got to get emissions done on my car and my partner's been going without phone service for several weeks which aggravates his #PTSD-related anxiety since we only have the one vehicle.
On top of all of that, I'm off today (which is good because yesterday was.. _rough_ at work with exactly half the necessary crew coverage) so as it stands right now, we're $30 short to even cover our motel room in the morning, let alone all the other expenses.
The good news is my hours at work are starting to pick up again; in roughly three weeks I'll be getting close to 40hrs. I hope to hell that coverage is better as well or I might not survive it.
I wish I had the spoons to work another job to help make ends meet; I can barely manage this one. I'm so exhausted after last night I'm pretty sure I would've had to call out today anyway.
I'm struggling to resist the urge to feel ashamed of being a leech to the community here, but today seems a little more difficult for some reason. Maybe it's just the stormy weather being a little dreary, or the fact that I'm emotionally and physically depleted for less than $16/hr and therefore still don't even have enough money to stay housed without the help of charity, let alone any other needs like phone service to help my partner feel safer despite his PTSD or the storage unit containing nearly all our possessions or even basic fucking toiletries.
Aaanyway.. let's try to focus on the positive, shall we? We are reserved here through the end of August and our goal is to find an apartment or roommates (or a polyamorous partner to help with the bills and cuddles - haha) by then. Honestly we love living here and it isn't *outrageously* expensive at this point in comparison to the redonkulously high apartment rental prices, but it's very precarious - we lose this cheaper rate if we're not on time every single day.
We've now been here at this motel for almost six full calendar months since we were jettisoned from the bad place. My partner is making modest progress coping with his PTSD every single day because it's been like an oasis for us. I've started behaving more like an adult, despite my raging #BPD. None of this would be possible without the help of our benefactors.
We don't want to lose the momentum we've gained recently, and if we can take care of a few of these monetary stressors I think it would be beneficial for both my partner and me. It would at least allow me to focus on feeling bad about other things besides my digital panhandling.. err, it would allow me to at least focus on getting us moved to something more permanent this summer.
So.. as usual, my very, very long story short: if you're willing AND able, please consider donating to any of the links below to help us stay housed and legally insured. As always, if you're unable to donate - don't sweat it! Just hit "boost" because spreading the word is still a crucial aspect of fundraising.
Please forgive me everyone for still doing this again and again.. I swear we're trying our damnedest.
Thank you everyone for your help.
