Help Eriks Cover Rent and Medications
Donation protected
Hello, My name is Eriks, for those who know me this is old news. But as this could go further I wanted to say hello. So as those who know me best know I've been struggling financially for a long time, but particularly since my uncle passed away in 2021 and then fell and hurt my back in 2023 that cost me dearly in time away from work. Since then I've been living week to week as the economy worsened. If not for a few very good friends, I'd have been homeless now multiple times. And now, just as thing were staring to get squared away, the unfortunate happened. I had to go to the ER for what I thought would be a minor issue and be back in a few hours turned into a 3 day hospital stay and a gallbladder surgery. The medical bills are one thing, but they are for another day. The biggest issue for now is how to make up the lost wages as my available paid time off has been used up from the time I hurt my back when it flares up. I know that times are hard for everyone right now. I know that those of you closest to me have helped me more than any one man has any right to ask in ten lifetimes much less in less than a decade. So I am keeping my goal low, enough to make sure I can pay my rent and my medications in the short term while I recover. If you would prefer to help but don't want to use crowd sourcing, contact me and I will set up something with you to help you help me :)
