hiii, i’m sure you’ve seen posts like these that are too many to count but if you’d take a few minutes out of your day and keep reading it would mean so much to me. first off, my name is natalie. i’ve been on tumblr for around 6/7 years which sounds insane when i actually think about it, but i turned into a “one direction blog” in 2013. throughout that time being on this website, i never thought i’d do something like this but it’s gotten to that point.
my mom and i are really struggling financially - the worst we’ve ever had - and it’s really difficult. my mom has 2 jobs to keep us stable and they’ve cut her hours a lot. enough to where we don’t have any money for groceries, barely have enough to pay bills. the rent for where we live is due the 5th and i don’t even know if my mom has the money for it or not. if it’s late it’s an extra 90$ late fee and then after that we could get kicked out of our apartment. my mom wants to get a loan but that’s just another bill to pay in the future. we almost got our electricity turned off and my mom is terrified that her car will get repossessed because she can’t make her car payments, which would make everything 10x worse if she didn’t have a car because then she couldn’t get to work and neither could i. that being said, yes, i do have a job. i only work part time because to put it short - the company i work at doesn’t make enough money to have me there longer, and obviously to pay me. i’ve started looking for a second job already, which is just more stress because anyone who has a job or is looking for one knows how damn hard it is.
my mom and i both work really hard and seeing my mom cry once or twice a week because we don’t have enough money is hard and heartbreaking. that being said, i’m setting up a donation page for anyone kind enough to help me and my mom out. i know it’s such a weird thing to ask, and i hardly feel comfortable doing this, but i really really need it. my mom really needs it. i wouldn’t be doing this if we didn’t. if you feel so kind to donate, you can do that here. any little bit helps and it would mean the world and more to me. even if you read this or just reblog it, it would mean just as much. if you have any questions, feel free to message me! thank you.
