I’m working over forty hours a week to keep up with medical bills from a work accident an ex-employer refused to cover that has left me disabled, and a thyroid issue that’ll likely cost me for life. Unfortunately because I’m under probation at work as a recent hire, I don’t qualify for employer insurance. I also make too much for Medicaid—so I’m paying for everything out of pocket.
Currently, I don’t have enough to pay rent and my deposit. I’m about $250 short, and only have until the 3rd to gather the amount. I can’t delay the security deposit more than I already have. Bill collectors are now harassing me.
Also, I’m selling Killstar bags and purses I’ve acquired over the years at Depop, if anyone’s interested.

Hoping for a miracle at this point. I’ve exhausted all my other options, including loans.

At this point I’m resigning myself to an overdrafted bank account and a significant amount of overdraft fees.

Thank you so much to everyone who’s donated, I’ve made my goal and even have some to spare, which I’ll use for gas, utilities and healthcare bills.

This was my oversight since this notification went to spam, but I need about $50 to pay for my phone bill as well. I’m responsible for only $80 of the above, as it’s a family account. It auto-withdraws from my sister’s debit card, and I don’t want to overdraft her, so I have until the 7th to come up with the $50.

Closer! Would be great if I could get this paid by midnight tonight so I don’t give my sister a heart attack!

So I missed the deadline and my sister was overdrafted. Now I have to cover my sister’s $36 overdraft. The original $50 plus the $36 overdraft minus the $16 I already got equals $70. I’d really like to get this taken care of today, since she’s a college student and lives away from home.
