Help Heather Survive Her Poverty

Donation protected
Hi everyone. I think it goes without saying that I really hate to do this, since I have a lot more pride than I should, but I really need some help.

I'm studying abroad in Sweden right now, working on my master's degree, and costs of living are really high here compared to the States. While my student loans get me through the school year, it's the middle of summer now and I still have rent and bills to pay, not to mention medication to buy and the lovely fees to try to extend my student residence permit.

I've been working as much as I can on MTurk and some other online sites, but unfortunately I haven't been able to make enough to pay the 1000SEK (about 150USD) fee for my residence permit that's due on June 30th. Nor have I been able to save up the 2000SEK (around 300USD) for rent due on July 1st. I also have some medical bills that have gone unpaid for awhile and keep accruing fees that I'd really like to get paid off.

I realize it's a lot to ask, but this is just an arbitrary number taking into account the cost of food and other bills to help me get by until I can save up enough to feel like the ground isn't going to swallow me whole. I'm really working hard, and have the opportunity to make money online (since finding an actual job here is a laughable prospect) and can do so, it just takes time since it's on a per-task basis.

Really, if you can help at all...well, I can't offer you much in return except my undying devotion, honestly, although I really wish I could! Thank you so much for even looking at this, really, you're amazing <3
