I need help
Donation protected
Hey everyone,
As many of you know, I've been in residential treatment for alcoholism since the end of May. I'll complete this program on Thursday, and will be flying back to OAK. However, in the meantime and despite weeks of trying, I've been unable to reach anyone at EDD to get my short-term disability benefits ironed out. (They issued me one payment back in April and nothing since.) Because I took an unpaid leave of absence to complete my rehab program, I'm now officially beyond broke and super-nervous about how to get through the next two days, never mind paying rent or living beyond the end of June.
One thing I've been told repeatedly here is that I can't afford to be too proud or too stubborn to ask for help when I'm trying to stay sober. If you're able to give me a hand, I'm willing to make you stuff, do chores for you, whatever I can offer to provide value. If you can't, please keep me in your thoughts, because that helps too.
Lovelovelove,
Lauren
