Hey there!
I'm sorry to have to finally make something like this. I keep thinking I can dig us out of this hole but all I am doing is adding more to my plate and ruining my mental health more than it already is. Honestly, I did try to make one before when I was going through my divorce a few years back but felt pressured close it and handle things on my own.
I really just want to raise a months worth of bills to try to bounce back with and catch up on what I owe. I feel like every time I get close life just knocks us down again. Some of you know I have been doing multiple things to try and raise money. Streaming, commissions, OF, my shop, etc etc...I pretty much have no hobbies left that haven't been turned into a side hustle of some kind. If I could monetize sleeping I would...
Things were going well a year ago and I was making amazing progress with my debt and mental health, was even losing weight! I took out a consolidation loan to try and really put an end to our debt. But then I lost my job and bills just started piling up again after that, those cards I just cleared filled up again. I lost help with my health insurance (we use marketplace insurance). I lost my babysitter(a few times) so on top of that my "hours" have been severely cut and flipped around as well. My husband, FIReNVY, has a salary job and unfortunately can't bring in any extra with overtime or anything there. He is actively looking for a job that could bring more in and I am working as hard as I possibly can. We cannot afford a full time sitter so they need me during the day. I am usually up till 2-3 am each night just to get up with them again around 8am and repeat.
We are both struggling with our mental and physical health. FIReNVY has degenerative back disease, I have fibromyalgia and struggle with my depression/PTSD, my psychiatrist says its medically resistant and we have been through many different drugs to try and help me. At the start of the year, many situations came up with my health that kept me from working as much as I needed to. I have been struggling to bounce back from it. I got approved for medical marijuana and am now actively working to get Thor trained as a service animal for myself. I try really hard to put on a face that everything is okay and I can take care of me and mine...but I have hit a point that I don't think I can. This past week I have had a constant headache(6 days) and panic attacks. I felt like maybe I should check myself into a mental health facility. But what stops me is that my family needs me here and now. Me leaving would 100% crush us. And I don't want to be away from my family either. I just need help...
Moving 5 times in the last few years
Two kids (3 and almost 5 years old)
Covid
Jobloss on both mine and husband's side
We have just not been able to bounce back...
And there have been a lot of people that have helped us so far. I appreciate you all more than you know and I hope you don't feel lesser for me asking for more. We just need more to fully get through this. We hope this wont make anyone feel less of us. We just don't know what else to do.
I am willing to be as transparent as possible with what our bills are, you are more than welcome to message me on twitter- @Sciggles, telegram- @Sciggles, discord- Sciggles#5001 for any questions or information you might want.
Every bit helps and if you aren't able to donate just sharing the word with other's means just as much...
I love you guys and the little community we've created. I'm so sorry to ask for this. I just wanna be better.
*For the sake of transparency, there is a convention in July that is being fully covered by Yeffsie and JerichoFox, the only thing out of my pocket has been $60 ticket in December(Or Jan?). But I don't want anyone to think I am misusing any funds. I was ready to cancel the trip fully until they insisted. You are more than welcome to also reach out to them to verify this.
**no raffles, sweepstakes, giveaways, or promotions are offered in exchange for any donations made to GoFundMe.
