okay so, i probably wouldn’t be making this post if i wasn’t kind of desperate and it might get a bit long and all, so bear with me for a second here.
i’ve been studying fashion (stylist) for about four months now, i used to study fashion design but that’s a whole other story, the school i’m going to it’s the only school in my country (argentina) where they give you a somewhat legit graduation certificate for this kind of thing and even though it’s not the cheapest, it’s not the most expensive either. up until two months ago me and my family could somewhat afford this even though we struggled by the end of the month every month. still, that’s normal so it was fine. i’ve been looking for a job for ages after a few jobs that didn’t work out but i’ve been getting no responses. every other kind of job i came across, i’ve applied and sent my resume for. online, through friends and friends of friends, through apps, for jobs i was qualified for and jobs i wasn’t, even for jobs that looked somewhat sketchy, literally anything and still zero response back.
then two months ago my dad lost his job, and we’ve been living with the few money we have for now, but i haven’t been able to pay for my school at all since then, and i’m pretty sure we won’t be able to pay for other things in the next months— internet, phone bills, our pets’ foods and medicine, who knows what else. a few of my dad’s friends said they’d help him try to get a job (he’s an accountant), but even then that’s neither here nor there, he went to a few interviews and all but nothing has happened, and i don’t know what else to do. our country is going through a big crisis and the economy is a mess right now, so it’s not like it’s easy for either of us to get a job and it keeps getting harder. not even having good connections helps nowadays.
here’s the thing, i don’t know if asking for donations to pay for my school will help at all, i don’t know if it’ll even get me enough money to pay to keep studying until i graduate, and i really don’t know if that’ll even matter at all because if i don’t get a job eventually and if my dad can’t get one either then it’s all kind of pointless— but i know my dad and his health could really use not having the stress of my school’s dues on top of everything else, and i am good at styling and fashion and i do really love it and i hope if i can keep studying maybe one day i’ll get a job related to that instead of applying for 4653265 shop girl/secretary/back office/assistant jobs that never call me back anyways. but in order to get there i need to be able to keep going to school.
so i made a paypal account, i barely know how it works, but it’s all i can think of to help my family at the moment. if anyone wants to donate, at least one dollar, it would be super helpful. and if you can’t donate but you want to reblog signal boost this, that would be awesome too. anyway here’s the link of my account: paypal.me/claraoswald and @dinah-lance is my personal blog if idk you want to come say hi or anything. thanks for reading!
