New Year, Same Desperation, Please Send Help
2 years ago
Hey, the stormy shapeshifter is saying something!
Hi everyone. This is once again a cry for help.
It's now been over an entire year of me being unemployed. I've screwed up unemployment paperwork twice and I don't really have a way to get to an office in person. And as of tonight, I have been told that my family and I are 400$ or so a month in the hole.
It's getting to the point of my family either getting food or covering my dad's car payments. If the car payments fall, the car is gone. Which then removes my dad's way to get to work. As he has to travel TWO HOURS one way to work where he does. His industry has no work, for the pay he needs for this household to function, where we live.
My stepmom works herself as much as she can where she works, doing graveyards at a truck stop. And that leaves me. I need a job. I've literally thrown out enough applications to hit the QUADRUPLE digits since we moved up here right after Christmas 2021.
I have pennies my name and my only form of income is the Scolipede work I've been doing. And there's not that much interest in it now.
I need help. It's getting pretty close to life or death. I hate sounding like a beggar, but I don't have a choice.
https://paypal.me/absolsilverbee Anything at all you can spare would be a godsend. I have grocery shopping to do this weekend and not only do I not have enough to even get cheap meals, my family cannot cover me. So even if I could afford meals to cook, I wouldn't be able to afford the basics I need too. I can go without things but I have to cook twice a week. Can't do that without money.
This is, frankly, an emergency. Please. Help. If all you can do is spread this around so others can see my plight, that's enough for me. But I need anything. Anything at all. Even if it's just an offer of actual remote work that will pay hourly. I'll take any help at all. I don't have a choice.
Please.

As for office work, frankly I don't think there's any at all in this area. There's not much in the desert except food, truck stops, and maybe the mall.
Getting it sorted will put you in a better position. If there is no local government office or town council office close to where you live who could help you fill out the necessary forms, I’d recommend posting a letter to them.
Try to find out who the manger is of that office first, an address the letter to them. Explain how far you’ve got in the process, and ask if someone can contact you directly. Or email/post you the forms you need to complete and return.
With everyone doing things by online portals and automated phone lines these days, letters tend to get more recognition.
I hope you get this sorted.
And then they lost my paperwork and screwed me because it didn't show in time for them, despite me following their instructions.
Regardless, have you tried raising a complaint? Either with them, or whoever regulates them?
Might be the best way to get noticed. Particularly if you have any visual evidence of them admitting fault. (e.g. emails, letters etc)
