It's hard doing this.

I don't like asking for help.

And yet here I am, doing it again.

I am up against a deadline for moving out of the house.

We have put in notice for June 1st.

Cost of living in this state, especially in the Monterey Bay area, is crazy. I'm sure you know that.

I am moving to somewhere in the state where it's quite a bit lower, to Sacramento.

Many of you reading this know why, but I won't go into that here.

But I'm doing it for the kids.

I have a job, but even before this, I was just scraping by.

What I'm asking for is to cover the costs associated with moving.

Extraneous bills.

First month's rent next month.

Deposit.

A new bed for Finn.

Junk runs are a big one; I need to downsize. I have a lot of stuff collected in this not very small house. I even still have quite a bit of my dad's stuff.

I'm moving from a house to a much smaller apartment.

I am a proud, stubborn person. This is not how I wanted to do this.

Especially after everyone helped me out so much last year. So many thanks if you helped me out then. I wouldn't have made it through that any other way.
