Follow-Up Support
a year ago
Firstly, I want to thank you all once again for all your support in helping me move into my new home. The relocation has been a success and I've managed to settle in nicely, albeit with little to no supplies or furniture. And while we were able to get me into the house, I'm afraid I've underestimated the costs of independent living, at least as far as start-up costs are concerned. Should I manage to get it all on track, I should be able to handle things from there through careful planning.
However, that's proving harder than I imagined it would be at my current income. And with old debts now hounding me for attention, it's proving nigh-impossible to pull this off alone. Side gigs like DoorDash aren't proving fruitful as I spend more on gas than I end up earning. I'm in no position to be able to ask my work for some kind of raise, which is only given out annually and in minuscule increments. And my expenses are already as low as I can make them without cutting into basic necessities. My only chance of resolving this in my own power is to either acquire a second job or quit my current one for something more profitable. The problem there is that I'm in poor health to handle juggling two jobs. And I actually enjoy working where I'm currently at despite the income shortage. I do have a potential offer on my plate to take in a roommate and cut my expenses in half. But that offer is quite a ways away, not to mention I need to make such preparations to give them a proper place to come to. So I can't rely on that as an option at this time. Personal loans are also off the table and my credit history is still relatively too new to be considered.
So as far as I can see, I'm afraid I'm that I have to turn to all of you for your continued help. I can certainly do whatever I can on my end to try and make ends meet. But I'm barely doing so by a thread on my own since I was so ill-prepared for such an expensive venture. I'd hate to lose this place after you all put in so much to help me get here. However, given the time-sensitive issues that led me here, we had no opportunity to build up such a safety net to lean on. And now this shortage and old debts have come to bite me back, forcing me to take late fees on current payments or even have something unfortunately canceled that I legally can't go without.
So for immediate help, I have to reopen support from all of you. Given how uncertain finances currently are, or more specifically what goals we should aim for, I'm not gonna call for a GoFundMe and/or set a specific goal like the last one. Rather, I'm pulling out my old Ko-Fi Page and will accept donations there. Any help you can provide will be greatly beneficial. I'm sorry for having to ask, but I hope you all know I wouldn't be asking if I didn't feel like I needed it.
