Note to Self: The Fights Far From Over
I have received so much kindness from people that I cannot express the gratitude I feel. I have received encouragement, resources, and even donations since I posted my plea for help. Since then I have been able to pay off necessary debt, pay towards my rent balance, and get caught up on my bills.
I am still not out of the woods yet. I do have some family holding me accountable, asking tough questions, and willing to help where they can but I still need help. I’ve been able to sell a few items that I will be getting rid of and anything in cash will be kept in an envelope for food & gas.
Make it stand out
Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. I need to fund the drive to Cincinnati, OH. I will be driving 32 hours in a rental (provided I find one) and a wapping 2,229 miles! I have a goal for the stops I will take but I will need to do this in a matter of three days. I am trying to find apartments within my budget that are close to work as well. Since I don’t own a car, I will have to either take a Lyft or get comfortable with public transportation in Cincinnati. All of this requires funds that I don't have. I was going to take out a loan, but I don’t qualify for it because what I make right now is far too low.
