Hi. I know, I'm sure you've hear it before, but here's MY story. My name is James. I'm 27, am unemployed and currently living in my dad's house which is falling to pieces as I right this. I lived the last ten years of my life, wasting it with someone that said they loved but in fact used me for my money when I did have the confidence to be around people. After they traumatized me, leaving both scars inside and out, I came here, just for the damage to continue with my neglectful father, his drug use once again (expectantly on my end, despite me being hopeful.) putting him in jail. My brother and his girlfriend, despite them working, making money, and LIVING here they don't want to put any real money or effort toward the house other than the bare minimum necessary for us to keep staying here. For clarification, they don't have the highest paying jobs, but they went without having to pay any bills for half a year, only having to pay for past couple of months because of my grandma's money was still coming to pay the bills for this place, which is hers. But it doesn't anymore. It goes where it needs to, to her in the nursing home to cover her expenses. So that's why I've come, dear Internet. I've come to ask for help. I want to keep living here as long as I can. Not for my dad, but for my brother (despite his bullheadedness) and other family since they all live relatively close to me. If I can't raise enough to cover the bills, I need to try to use the money for other options I have. To try to get to my friend that's a couple hours away and, if there's enough or you guys are still tossing help my way, to try to pay my way with them as I try to get help by other means. If you decide to give me something, thank you. I promise that I'll try to make the best out of whatever you provide, regardless of which route is drawn. Oh, and pardon the derpy picture. I don't have another picture to throw on there so I just grabbed something from the internet. I hope it makes you giggle.
