Help me stay housed
Donation protected
Hello everyone. My name is Eric Andrew Thomas, and I'm in a bit of trouble.
Moving out of my parents house was unavoidable. It was time for me to get out on my own, explore adulthood, make progress with my mental wellbeing.
The problem? My job was through a temp agency. And finding work is incredibly difficult. I have been putting in applications left and right, calling the temp agency I'm stationed with and numerous other agencies. All in vain. As I'm writing this, the date is March 1st, 2015. Today rent is due, which is 210 dollars. I have that amount; but there's another 300 I have to pay each month in order to keep the home in my name. The extra 300 is due by the tenth. This makes the total up to 510 each and every month. Which I can handle, if I find a job.
With my depression, PTSD from a sexual assault, and numerous other diagnosis such as acute paranoia, BPD, and social anxiety, finding a job that suits my needs and that I could handle is extremely difficult. But I'm trying. I'm trying like crazy to find a job, to keep myself stable, and everything in between.
But I need help.
With only a little over 200 dollars in the bank, all going to rent, I have nothing else coming in. No money for food, no money to pay bills, nothing. I am looking to the kindness of strangers, to the good will in people, for help.
I have set the goal so high for a few reasons: One being that aside from the 300 for the rest of the rent; I also have a downpayment of 200 dollars for my electric. And nearly another 100 for my telephone and internet.
Making the goal so high was not my initial intention. But I know that if I do make it to that goal; I would be set until I had a job and even after it. Asking for help isn't easy for me, and never has been. But I'm asking now. I need this help.
Thank you for reading, and thank you for your time.
