Cat vet bills & emergency repayments - I am very stuck!
Donation protected
Hi, my name is Sarah and I'm raising funds because I have hit an emergency situation.
Those who know me know that I'm not a stranger to the hustle but this month the hustle has not being paying off and I'm thoroughly stuck between a hard place and brick wall and I'm becoming increasingly stressed.
I have recently moved to Gloucester but since moving it's been hard work finding the right job and although I will have a job this month, I still have to work a month in hand and basically that's what's effin' me over.
To be quite blunt, I'm my bank account right now is just £2 and my other bank account is overdrawn. No joke. And that's embarrassing! I'm severely in credit card debt which I'm finding hard to fix as I'm still having to use one in order to buy myself and hollie (my cat) groceries and the last 2 months iv had to use credit cards to pay my rent! The last credit card is almost maxed out.
Although I'm supported by universal credit, it's not enough to cover some issues that I am having. The universal credit only covers this months rent, nothing else!
So here I'm gunna list of what the issues I'm having and what I am raising the money for...
*issue 1: Cat VET bills. As some of you know I have an elderly 18 years old cat who requires medication for her thyroid and arthritis. The medication is £80 and we have no money available for it. We also still need to Sign her up to the vets and getting her care plan is roughly £40. We also need to pay for the consultation which is usually around £30 and we also need an uber there and back as I don't drive, so £20. So that alone is costing : £170
2. Credit card repayments : I have been using any spare cash I get from selling items online to pay off credit card repayments but most recently the credit card repayments have increased even more, this is probably because I have no money and all I can use is them to get food for us/transport /bills etc. I have 3 credit cards I'm paying off (yes it's bad)... I'm not gunna say the full extent of how much on here as I want to keep that private and I'm embarrassed but it's in the thousands. All im asking for help with is to make the credit card repayments this month or otherwise I'm going to default and it will cause bigger problems. I'm sure when I start working il be able to manage paying them off, it's just with no income right now it's precarious. So one card is asking for : £95 and the others is £100 combined. Total: £195
3. The last issue I'm having is because I'm £50 overdrawn and with no income, this month I'm going to be behind on my bills as well that's a phone bill (£25) and £80 klarna (used to buy coat & jumper as I didn't have one and it was raining heavily a few months ago). = £155
Any leftover donations raised will go towards bills, any credit card debt I can pay off and anything else hollie needs.
I really really hate to ask for help. I'm one of those people who will hustle till they break before asking. I rather help others then myself but this time round I could really do with the help. I'm in a very precarious situation because if I the debts come out of my universal credit il have not enough rent and vice versa, thus putting our housing at risk too.
I'm doing my best trying to sell items on selling sites but I literally don't have things worth much to sell and it's just not hitting the sides. I don't have any family to help me (dad is on pension/mum.. Well we won't go there?!) thus why I'm having to ask friends and strangers.
I really want to get out of this mess!! I'm trying my hardest to look after myself after what's been going on... Looking after my health, trying to stay sober/low alcohol, fix my mental health and happiness but this is just dragging me down where I'm starting to have sleepless nights and starting to panic.
Please can somebody help me?! I'm doing my absolute best to get by but I really need help financially.
Thank you to anyone who decides to donate and help me and my kitty. Forever grateful
