i’ve posted about my financial struggles before, but they keep getting worse, and quite frankly i’m at a breaking point. my pipes have burst multiple times in the last couple of years, they burst twice in january, and it’s only accentuated a water damage issue that was causing mold to grow in my floor. now, my sewer line is clogged and i was advised to use my bathroom as little as possible. i spent over 700 just yesterday getting a temporary fix for that. today, my toilet overflowed, the shower backed up, the ceiling in my kitchen leaked for the second time this week — and the water shorted out a wall light, so now i’m worried about a fire — and my dishwasher leaked. it flooded my kitchen & hallway, and because of how goddamn cold it is and the fact i don’t have a furnace (can’t afford one) the water is frozen. now my kitchen is covered in ice. i shut off the water to my house. quite frankly, this house is becoming less and less safe / sustainable to live in by the day. my savings are practically gone. i had 4.5k on january 1st, and as of feb 20th i have 800. i still have 200 from when people were kind enough to send money when i asked for help with my furnace, but the furnace is the least of my worries now. this house is shit and it only gets worse and worse and more expensive. i would like to sell this dump and move, but i don’t want to be here in the meantime because of how it’s deteriorating. i was thinking a hotel room while i look for a place, but getting a new place (and supporting myself until my work hours go back to normal in april) is, of course, more money than i have because of my financial black hole of a house. i don’t really know what my limit should be, but i know with deposits and pet fees and first month’s rent, i’m looking at 1500 to start. if i do decide on a hotel, because i cannot stand this house anymore, that would also be pretty pricey. idk. idk what to do anymore but dealing with this house and capitalism is taking my mental health to an extremely dark place. i need to get out. below is proof of how bad my house has gotten just today, as well as my cashapp. i don’t know exactly what i’m asking for, i just know i need help before being in poverty puts me in actual danger.
