Moving to Utah has been the single handedly best decision we have ever made, but also has turned against us in a lot of ways. We love it here, its beautiful, we have access to the outdoors whenever we want, just a great place to raise our son. So why the gofundme? From the moment we were leaving Texas we have been plagued with bad luck that has started a snowball effect which has led me to do what I am doing now. Before leaving we moved in with my dad for a few months, which helped us out a lot we were able to save up the money we needed to start our new lives. About a month before our move we decided to go with a moving company that will move all of our things, we told them everything we have and they gave us a quote, making it sound like it was there moving company. In the time before the move came we ended up finding out moving it ourselves was going to be cheaper, so we try to cancel our quote and get $1.5k back but they tried to re assure us it would help, all in all they said they move would be around $3k which was not to bad, well the day of the move came. Come to find out the people we got a quote with were only a 3rd party, and the real movers got there and said it was going to be around $7k we decided to cut our losses move it ourselves and try to get our money back but no matter what we did we were out $1.5k All the while we are moving the war had started, inflation was going up and It seemed like all of our gas we used to get there was almost double the few weeks before we left. The budget we made was not prepared for what this was going to be. At first when we got here all was well for a few months, but our debts just kept seeming to rise while our income was staying the same, so we scrunched and saved did everything we were supposed to. Now this is where the problem comes in. the job I was at for 3 years unfortunately was just not working out, with everything being so expensive I figured it was time for me to find a new job, well I did. Initially they wanted to pay me lower than I was already getting paid, I explained to the manager I cant see myself leaving for less pay as we are drowning in bills, they ended up raising the pay to $3 an hour more than what I was already getting paid! Amazing, This wasnt my favorite job but it was still in the outdoor industry, and the pay was much better. All the while our day care payments have gone down, things were finally looking up and I was feeling better. It was my 9th day into this new job, I was having a good day, Great lunch it was thursday so almost the weekend, well on my way back from lunch about to sit at my desk my manager calls me in to the office, and with no warning, reason, or explanation. They fire me. I was broken and embarrassed. They said they would pay me through friday great… Something I have forgotten to mention I was able to start my own training company! I have gained clients through instagram and have been doing this on top of delivery driving for the past 2.5 months but starting your own company is slow… and delivery driving is okay money at times, but its not enough to keep afloat, so I find another job. The stark opposite of what I was doing before which is in retail but it still pays the same. The whole time they kept saying how much “we love our employees” which a complete lie. The guy who trained me and does my position at another store had been there for 26 YEARS and I came in at the same amount of pay as him. Well I had been trucking a long working this job, It was quite a bit to learn but I had finally started getting the Hang of it. Well its been about a month, my son had been sick one night so I am running on 2 hours of sleep kind of in a daze the whole day I am doing my job and go on my break, we only get 15 minutes. So I get my food but we were so busy the line was long and I didnt want to spend 10 minutes of my 15 minutes in line so I walk past it and tell the lady at self checkout “hey Ill pay for this when I get back, the line is long” she laughs says “okay” and I go to eat (I should stop going to lunch) a little bit later I walk by the managers office they pull me in with security and ask what did you have for lunch? Confused because I didnt even remember lunch and she tells me I had my lunch about an hour ago. Turns out I had forgotten to pay for $6 meal, which I obviously had every intention to pay for. I didn't even know I was in trouble so I tell them Ill go pay for it right now and apologized. My manager said “No, you are a thief” and yes they did fire me. I haven't been fired since I was 18 and here I have been fired twice in almost 3 months when I need my job the most. So with bills due in less than 2 weeks I have $1,000 in late car payments, no food in the fridge $2,000 in rent and another $3k in various other bills with no job, YES I am applying and looking YES my significant other is working, YES I am doing jobs to try make up the deficit, but I cant even get a loan because younger me didn't understand what credit meant. Ive never been scared In my entire life, but now I am, I have people that depend on me and im failing them. Im embarrassed and ashamed I have to ask you for help, but I dont know what else to do, If I lose just my car I cant even delivery drive to make more money. We just need something to help us get through until I find another job.
