Help Me Buy a Bed
Donation protected
When I was 19 I packed a suit case and moved from Florida to California by myself, barely knowing one person, like a dummy. I'm now almost 23 and I've done a pretty good job of being unemployed a lot because even though film work can pay well, it's not very steady, the summers are brutal, and your skills are pretty much non-transferable. I have been searching for steady, normal work since I got laid off from my last job in February, but I haven't had much luck. I haven't been able to afford a bed. I sleep on a futon "mattress" which let's be real is pretty much the floor and I haven't slept comfortably for a really, really long time. I just wanna be happy like that man in the picture. Look at him, he's probably dreaming of fresh, ripe prunes and hand-crafted bedside potties. I wanna dream of hand-crafted bedside potties!
Goal Explanation:
Mattress: A decent (term used loosely), Full/Queen sized mattress costs anywhere from $299 - $399.
Bedframe: An IKEA bedframe for a bed without a boxspring is pretty cheap, I can get one for around $120.
Overflow: GoFundMe takes 5% of every donation, and the company that does the payout, WePay, takes 3%. I'm accounting for that.
Anything helps, and if you can't donate, please spread the word. I would love nothing more.
PS: A man raised $10,000 for potato salad.
