A Dog in the Dog House
The better of my life I have always lived in the mindset that the kindness of strangers can only be as strong as your own willingness to be a kind stranger for someone else. I've seen people come and I've seen people go, but I absolutely refused to be someone who never listened to what someone else had to say.
There have been times where I have been the one to give right from my own pocket on things that were a convenience for me just because i have seen someone struggling without. Times that I've paused in my day to day life to listen to the worries and struggles of another if it meant easing their mind that someone was willing to not only take the time to hear their problem but even act on it. I have been randomly generous, often uncommonly positive and fortune has always smiled in my favor when it comes to the things that make being human worth living.
However, for the first time in my life I find myself on the needing end of giving. I am employed as a resident manager for a storage facility in my home town and have been for the last 2 years of my life all but single handedly. I am beyond thankful for the opportunity and in being here have seen many faces. People who have been in situations that they themselves have been low, people who have lost loved ones, their significant others to violence, even some who themselves have been homeless. In all of this I have tried to be positive for them, hospitable, friendly and even go so far as to offer bottled water in their passing. Now I find myself on a similar level of need.
The place that I work for is soon expected to change ownership, and with it my employment and home. It makes me feel undeserving to ask for anyone to contribute to the cause of someone who isn't sick, who isn't on the verge of something physically threatening or even incapable of doing creative things. I am someone who's livelihood is being threatend by means beyond their control and I have no idea where to turn to.
The official change for everything could happen anytime within the next 15 to 30 days March 15th (at the latest) and with the help of those generous enough to consider my time of need I'll be able to make some headway and maintain a dependable form of living.
Even a single $1 donation means the world to me because it says that someone took the time from their day to consider someone else's important and I feel you should be forever proud of that fact.
I wish any and everyone who's even read this far the best.
Thank you~!
