Hi all my beautiful sweet humans. Asking for help is not my strong suit and this is difficult for me to post. I have encountered emergency after emergency these last couple of months and I feel like I’m drowning and paralyzed with fear. I was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis last year and the stress doesn’t help that. My HVAC unit just went out on us and it’s going to be a hefty $9000 to get it replaced, my son has dental surgery coming up that is extremely expensive, my sons car has an EVAP leak and I’m looking at $1500 to fix it (he’s still in high school and working but he doesn’t make nearly enough to help with this) and one of my doggos is experiencing incontinence and she needs more testing (she’s already been to the vet twice); On top of all of that I have my regular life expenses, as do we all. I am responsible with money but I can’t catch a break and I feel absolutely horrible doing anything for myself (when I do it’s for things I’ve spent months saving up for after keeping my bills straight). I understand wholeheartedly that these times are rough for millions of people. I live to help my community with my work and recovery so it’s difficult to get vulnerable. If anyone has ANYTHING to donate, it would be greatly appreciated, if not, I love you all and thank you for reading this.
