Hello, lovely folks and friends. I'm reaching a point of desperation, so I'm going to post a few links.
A GoFundme - This may be easier for some to use/share. If you would like, you can screenshot the donation info and send it to me via DM and request a writing commission. If you're unsure if it's something I'd be comfortable writing, you can reach out beforehand and I'll let you know. The same goes for Ko-fi tips. I have no idea what to even assign as a rate, go with your gut/heart.
I've gotten some help already from some amazingly generous people. I can't thank them or anyone who's shared my links enough. The GFM goes a little bit more into why this is even necessary, but basically my finances were in shambles after I lost one of my parents. Between not working in that time after they passed because of grief, paying for final arrangements, having to pay for a major car repair, and having recently been hospitalized, I've been catching up and finally kind of felt okay as long as nothing else happened for a few months.
Then I found out my lease wasn't being renewed.
A friend of mine recently pointed out I've had possibly the worst luck he's seen in the last six months. I'm inclined to agree. I do have a good community of people both in real life and online. I've seen the best, kindest, most generous parts of those communities while I've gone through the worst six months I think I've ever had. I've been able to talk to people on here about grief and loss in ways that are truly the only reason why I've been navigating this painful period of my life without having a complete breakdown.
