Continuing Adventures in the Hell Hole
Hey guys, gals, and internet pals. If you've been following along with the nightmare that is my life, I'm here with an update. If you haven't been, the full tale is here, but I will tl:dr for those curious:
On December 20th (four days before Christmas for those counting) my roommate, the owner of the home I live in, a single mother who had been unemployed since September (after getting laid off by her lying asshole boss), missed one step on the staircase down to the living room and suffered a severe trimalleolar fracture in her right ankle. I became her primary care giver, while working full time, taking her to the ER, giving her medication, trying to keep her comfortable. She had to wait almost a month for surgery due to the holidays and weather, which she finally got on January 13th, and then couldn't begin PT for another two weeks due to back to back severe snow storms hitting where we live. At the same time her daughter was dealing with some fairly severe bullying and administration issues at her very first in person school which was only compounding the issues with my roommate's immobility.
All caught up? Great.
Things are looking better now: Roommate is in PT, which sucks but at least it's happening, we got her daughter into a new school which is going much better, and we got both of them on Medicaid and Food Stamps. This is huge for me as I have been covering all the food for all of us for months (not to mention all the other things I've been covering) and I can finally start to rebuild my finances.
Bad news is that during this ordeal our bills have fallen off the priority list and are now come calling. I'm setting up aid and hardship programs for most of them, but the electricity is being a bitch. We need to pay $666 (ironic, right?) by the 9th or they will shut off our power. Once we get that paid we can set up a lower cost payment plan with them, but the lump payment has to be made first. We're now working on scraping that together, but any help anyone could provide would be most appreciated:
