Medical Bill and Student Loans

Donation protected


Hi, my name is Erick Mejia-Perez, and not a single time have I ever had the need to use GoFundMe for financial help until now.

I have always been easily overwhelmed with Anxiety and Depression, I suffer from both from it immensely, and every single day is extremely difficult to find the motivation to do anything. It's terrible having to put up with it.

On November 9th, I couldn't handle any more of it. I was working at Best Buy and that same day I quit due to transportation issues, it was much too far from my home and I don't even have my own car.  There were many thoughts racing through my head, I didn't care about anything anymore. Best Buy was right behind an interstate highway with a bridge going over it.

I was going to jump. The police had found me before I could though, and they had called an ambulance over to take me to the nearby hospital. I was held there for the following weekend and was then sent to a Psychiatric Clinic where I was held in-patient for a couple of extra days before being discharged.

As for my student loans, I've only been able to take a few classes for a couple of quarters before having to stop attending due to transportation issues yet again. I attend the Art Institute of Atlanta and I very much enjoy it there, I only wish to be able to pay off what I owe as soon as I can. The extra bit is to just help me through a few smaller bills like phone bill and rent.

I've let my family and friends know about this situation but since I come from a poor background, it is much too difficult to find a way to acquire the funds needed to pay for these expenses.

Even just a dollar can go a long way, please and thank you so very much for taking the time to read this.

***EDIT: March 12, 2020, Thank you to those who have donated! Unfortunately, there has been little no traction with this fundraiser no matter how far and wide I go in an attempt to spread the word so that the goal can be met, and it doesn't seem to be going anywhere anytime soon, I am very far overdue especially with school expenses, so I've decided to indefinitely close this fundraiser, thank you all so much for your support and God bless you all.
