a post about how i’m going to be homeless
i thought i would write out something once the advil kicked in and my fever went down! unfortunately i’m sick again (i have kidney disease and anemia) and it’s causing me a lot of pain and discomfort but i’m in the bath and finally settled down enough to write something.
a month or so ago, i made a post on tumblr asking for help. i had gotten pregnant in early april and didn’t have the funds for an abortion. i was working part time 20-25hrs a week at dairy queen and got paid 9$ an hour.
the response i got was overwhelming and i was so beyond touched when i met and even surpassed my goal. i donated some extra money to other causes i had seen floating around here when i was bedridden, spent some of it on a new heating pad and some comfort food, and gave the rest to the ocean conservatory foundation for my birthday on Facebook.
it took me three days to recover from my DNC bc i took the pill and, have health problems, like anemia, so it was met with a lot of issues. i also have PFTS, which causes trouble standing or walking in my knees.
i had my procedure done on friday and was good to work on tuesday. when i looked at my schedule i realized i didn’t have any hours and called my boss.
she pretty much told me i took too much time off and was considered unreliable and that she wasn’t going to put me back on the schedule. i tried for days and even showed up IN UNIFORM and was sent home. i wear TWO heavy duty knee braces to work and worked for 8+ hours at a time. the week before my abortion i gave my shifts away and made sure they were covered because i was suffering from the same thing my mom suffered with when she was pregnant: hyperemesis.
- if u don’t know what that means it’s just a fancy girl term for throwing up a LOT
in an attempt to keep this short i will say this:
i have been unable to find a new job and have been chronically ill for upwards of 4 months. i am physically disabled, mentally disabed, i had my 18th birthday by myself in a bowling alley (don’t laugh.) and then i was told to move out.
my parents gave me one month (aug 14) to get my own place. since then i’ve been looking for jobs that are well suited to me, I.E. conforms to my ailments and haven’t found any that can provide me with a substantial amount of living.
i’m still looking, had about 10 interviews since i was fired.
what i need from you guys is some help.
i have to buy a car so i can get myself around, and my dad is offering to sell me one for 2K. what i have is a little over a grand.
i’m not asking for a grand, (tho if uve got one throw it my way) but i am asking for your help.
even if your help is just reblogging this long post. i hate the idea of taking money without exchange so i have been doodling things for people who are kind enough to send me money.
for those whod like to help, my paypal is here
and my venmo is here
if you have any questions or concerns w this post feel free to raise them w me
i love you all and appreciate your support, i am terrified of being on my own and if i don’t get the money i need, i will end up homeless.
