To those whom care, read, and are of a sympathetic ear, to you I give my thanks now and eternally, and beg you lend me your ears for but a short time.

I find myself, for the second time in as many years, forced into a terrible situation, one where I must fall to my friends in begging for aid. The month and a half of the Jewish High Holidays, which nearly shut down my job, combined with stretching the kindness and care of my roommates beyond all logic, sanity, and reason, have left me essentially both penniless and in need of securing a month's rent and the associated electricity ($560.00) as soon as is feasibly possible.

However, my job doesn't provide me enough hours to sate that need even were I to, in the next week or so, drop every single dime I have into said rent, ignoring my need for both food and transportation. This doesn't even begin to, however, cover the oncoming month, which I ALSO am in need of covering, again with the associated electricity.

Thus, I fear I must turn to an ignominious last resort - begging those of you for aid. As prior, I cannot pay it back, nor can I successfully even hope to recoup it, not within any reasonable, sane time span.

I would vastly and thoroughly understand if this plea gets ignored, or even jeered at and rebuffed with all harshness. I am frighteningly aware these are trying financial times for all, and that my asking for this charity is at best straining, at worst obnoxious beyond all redemption, and I beg you all to forgive me my plea, at the least.

With thanks and eternal gratitude for any amount,

Mika Kyubi
