Hello everyone,
I never thought I would be in this situation until today. I am a 21 year old college student. I’ve been working since I turned 18. I never had a family and grew up paying my own way regardless of how little money I had. I started to work part time while my fiancé helped me with bills and I went to college full time. He makes $17 and I make about $13 an hour. He has lost his job, we do not qualify for any assistance programs (food stamps, unemployment, etc.). His company had a large lay off and although we’ve applied for unemployment I haven’t heard from them in over a month. He’s put in over 75 job applications and we cannot find anyone to hire him or any companies that pay enough for us to live off of. I cut expenses heavily and even quit smoking cigarettes and eating less. My bills are piling up and I am continuing to go into even more debt than my student debt asking family and friends for money to keep us afloat – they’ve all made it clear they can no longer help. We have no money for food, rent, or groceries and I’m at a loss. We’ve looked up and down and still can’t find anyone to hire him and my job won’t provide me with any overtime hours. I’m very scared, I’m very stressed, and I don’t want to lose the only stable home I have ever had. I understand not everyone is in the situation to give and that’s fine – but if you could I would be over the moon. I’m looking to raise about $2500. I need it to purchase groceries, feed my cat, put gas in my car, and pay bills/debt. My rent is running me around $850, water $20, Electric $92, student loan payments are around $75 a month, and Im beginning to have family members become hostile or angry with me because I borrowed money last month. What little family I do have left I do not want to run them off bevause I can’t afford to pay them the money I borrowed. I have a cat who costs about $30 to feed a month and we’re starting to get low on food for her. I’m very scared and feel so confused. I’ve managed to make our grocery budget stretch to around $75 for three weeks, but I’m not going to lie I’m very hungry and exhausted and depressed. I don’t know who or where to turn to so all I can hope is that someone willing to help me will help. My fiancé was the bread winner and I’m trying to DoorDash to get more money in.
