Hey Guys, for those of you who know me in person you know that the last thing I want to do is ask for money. Right now, though, I’m kind of stuck with this..
My car has a solenoid in the transmission that is leaking faster than I can keep putting oil in it at this point, and when it gets too low (about every 6th day) it often is slow to shift and it makes it super unsafe to drive. I don’t live on campus nor am I in an area that I can safely walk to the store to get groceries or anything else. I try not to drive unless I have to, but school has started now and I don’t necessarily have a choice but to drive in to class almost every day.
This also limits what I can do for work as well. I’m between jobs right now, so photography is my only source of income.
If anybody could help me out, either by sharing photos (or buying them!) that would be great. You can find them here: www.stormhalation.smugmug.com
Or if that’s not really your cup of tea, but you still want to help you could donate here and I’ll update you when I get my car fixed! gofundme.com/28p7emfe
More less important info under the cut
I’m 17 and living on my own. I’m doing a lot better in terms of my mental health since I’m not living with my mother anymore, but I’m still struggling to take care of myself in some aspects. A lot of jobs that are local and hiring won’t take me because I’m not 18 and my mother doesn’t contribute enough (if at all) and often takes some of the money I earn out of my bank account to “pay bills” while I’m not living with her. I can’t just take her off the account because of my age, but come November I will be. I’ve been applying for jobs any and everywhere they have openings, but I haven’t heard back on any of them yet.
Any help is really appreciated and I really wish I didn’t need to ask for help. I just really need to make it to November. Once I’m 18 a lot of jobs will open up for me that I can apply for coming into the Holiday season. I really want to succeed at living on my own and not be forced to move back in with my mom. It’s detrimental to me in a lot of ways because while I’m living with her I’m literally not allowed to go out.
Makes it pretty difficult to get a job when you’re not allowed to leave the house for more than 2 hours at a time.
Since I moved out my revenue from photography has moved from 45$ over the course of a month to over 200$!
I’m very very proud of that, but unfortunately my car enabled me to go to a lot of these events I photographed and without it I don’t have any way to get to class or work, if I get hired.
