Hello,
Some of you know me personally as Mike, but others might know me from streaming/gaming online as RiPTide. On July 18th I was laid off from my influencer marketing job, and I have not been able to obtain a stable job since. I was hired by a call center at the end of September and had that position for three weeks before some things went down and I could no longer work there. I go into more detail about my situation in the video I made, but I'm looking to raise $2,500 for rent, bills, and food for the coming month and an additional month as a precaution. I'm busting my ass to get a new job ASAP so I can get back on my feet but I currently do not have rent for this upcoming month, or the funds for my electric bill for this month.
- Rent = About $800/month with utilities that slightly vary in cost
- Internet = $100/month
- Electric = $105/month
- Gas = $35/month
- Food = $50+/week (varies based on sales)
- Accounting for GoFundMe fees
If you want to donate through GoFundMe or any other method (Cashapp, Venmo, PayPal, etc) please send me a message if you want me to pay you back, because that's 100% my intent. I want to pay back everyone who helps me stay off the streets until I am able to find stable employment. In terms of time restraints, GoFundMe takes upwards of 3-5 days to send any money since it needs to verify payments so that's honestly the real reason why I've provided other methods.
Cashapp: $Riptidetaken
Venmo: @Thatriptideguy
PayPal: @riptide795
Also, if you know anyone who owns an online/remote business that might need to fill the role of a customer support representative, influencer marketing agent, or anything in that wheelhouse please let me know.
If you have any questions or just want to speak with me one-on-one before donating/loaning me money please let me know. Thank you for your time.
