Hi,
This is hard to write, but I’m in a place where I truly need help.
I recently lost my part-time job, and while I’m trying to stay hopeful, the weight of everything I owe is crushing me. I have a bill of $1,804.75 from a payment plan I took on while I was working minimum wage. I had no other choice but to use it for essentials like food and household items. My hours were unpredictable, and even when I was working, I didn’t qualify for SNAP because I made just slightly too much.
Now I have no job. I did qualify for unemployment, but I can’t accept it — because I live in HUD low-income housing, and any unemployment income would count against me. It could raise my rent by $300–$400 a month, leaving me in the exact same struggle, only with less support. I’ve also applied for food stamps again, but I’m still waiting to hear back.
Right now, my income is just $1,241 a month — not enough to pay off this bill and afford groceries or other basic expenses. If I didn’t have this debt looming over me, I could survive while I wait for assistance to come through.
I’m asking for $2,100 to pay off this balance fully and have a little breathing room for food and basic needs.
I live with cerebral palsy and do my best every single day to stay independent and resilient — but I can’t do it all alone, and I’m not too proud to admit I need support.
If you’re reading this, thank you for even considering. Your kindness could truly change everything for me.
From the heart,
SmilingThroughOtAll
