The ACUTE problem:

A bit over a month ago the government froze my disability benefit while processing my doctor's certificate stating this disability (bureaucracy full on). I've really been proud of myself for being a good girl having managed to scrape together some €500 on my savings account over the past 2 years so that when a bureaucratic glitch like this happens, I won't be in deep $#!t. Well...

I am now two months behind on my rent for the reason stated above, so I realized I have to dip into my savings account that I have maintained with great effort for emergency-cases like this.

I logged into my account, and found all the €500 on that account EMPTIED by the government as distress/distraint seizure for debts from years back. They dipped into my emergency back-up, and now I don't have any way in which to pay for my rent. I don't worry about food - I have basics in my cupboard and I can always get a meal, and the unfreezing of my benefit is one week away.

It won't however be enough to compensate for the two months that I owe for my rent. This is why I reach out to you, the friend I do not know - placing the little faith I have left in people, to try to gather at least one month's rent's worth. If I can do that, the other month will be a lot easier for me to cover.

BACKSTORY: Long, but to put it concisely; I'm on disability due to PTSD and related mental issues stemming from extreme childhood circumstances including violence, abandonment, foster care, kidnapping from foster care, and severe bullying to boot. Despite my adversities and challenges, I can still find joy in small things in the present and even joke about my past. I however find it hard to function on a daily basis when it comes to maintaining a day-to-day job and dealing with other people due to my inherent trust issues.
 
I am trying to deal with it on multiple levels and I find solace in my art (music/visual/verbal/kinetic) and dark humor, and I aim to rehabilitate myself in order to re-attempt studying, switching from audiovisual media to neuropsychology and becoming a researcher in Autism Spectrum Disorders - something I myself have in form of Asperger's Syndrome.

 
You do not owe me anything. I just don't know where else to turn to at this point, as my own savings failed me in such an unexpected manner. I thank you for the time you took to read this, and if you find it in you to help me even with the slightest contribution, my gratitude will know no bounds <3

 
Be with peace. Thank you.
