Help Keep Utilities On

Donation protected

Hi, I'm Shayna and I would really appreciate any help that could be given to help me and my little family make it through this dry season. I am autistic and not able to handle life in the working world, so I stay at home with my 1 year old son and crochet on the side for a little bit of money. Ideally, my crochet money would go to bills, but more often than not it is put into the gas tank that hubby relies on so much for work. 

My husband is a driver, and has been for the past 4 years. Summer is always tough, as hours are cut and tips unpredictable. This year, it's not uncommon for my husband to be sent home without even clocking in. That's pretty common for the summer, but this year we just can't manage to pull ourselves through it. 

Last summer, when our son was born, my husband worked a temporary job helping close a store. The summers before that, I was enrolled in school online (something I can no longer keep up with) and we would recieve a student stippend that helped us bridge the dry spell. This year, there is no stippend, and no second job- temproary or not. 

Meanwhile, my landlord (a family member) is talking about letting house payments slip and allowing the house to go into foreclosure. Our roomate thought that he could pay in advance when he moved in (2 months ago) and pay 700 instead of the 800, due to lack of money. We allowed this, and told ourselves that we would make up the missing hundred... and then my husband put the 300 for month #2 down on our utilities. Which, we needed, but we've not come near making the money to pay my landlord/brother in law back. 

On top of general poor-life issues, we had to recently change the tires on the car that we have... and that has screwed up any semblance of "keeping up" with the bills that we thought we had working for us. 

We have all utilities: water, gas and electric threatening to turn us off "immediately" though, I have no idea when that will be. I would really appreciate it if you could help us avoid termination, and all of the fees that have to be faced with reconnection. 

 

Any amount helps, but for sure I need 200 before the 14th. 

 

Thank you for your time reading this. And if you decided to give any at all, I can't express to you just how grateful i am. Thank you. From me. From my husband. and from my son.
