More Assistance Needed, Help Me Across the Finish Line
Donation protected
UPDATE: I am adding onto the original fundraiser for ease of use, but the update is as follows: I need more assistance to get stabilized here in Maryland. Still need help getting my license transferred over, among other fees and stuff constantly popping up to hamstring me before I can hit my stride.
I currently am looking at roughly $1500 total for absolutely everything, and I'm running out of both hope and time. I need help. Badly. Please, if there is anything you can do, it's so hard to be homeless and establish a new life in a new state. The amount of bureaucracy and tape I've had to cut through has left me essentially penniless and I haven't been able to make money doing the things I usually do.
Please. Help.
ORIGINAL POST: I've never asked for help before like this, but I'm at the end of my rope. Due to a stressful and toxic situation I was living in with my ex/friend in New York, I was unable to make more money than I was bleeding and have been slowly sinking, struggling to stay above water. Things were degenerating and the friendship was breaking apart, and it was just really unhealthy. I'll spare you all having to read about it.
I had been doing Uber and Lyft in and around Ithaca/Syracuse New York, but since I've lost my place up there and moved closer to my partner who lives in Maryland, I'm screwed in terms of making money quickly, and I need a lot of extra bullshit to be able to get back on the road and making money. I would stay with my partner but she lives with her parents, I can't move in there and I'm in temporary housing with her sister and that likely won't last much longer because it's already an imposition. I just need a way to get from where I am now to the end of September, and to do that, I need about $2,500.
So yeah. Long story slightly shorter, I'm going to need around $2,500 dollars to:
- Put new tires on my car (two are balding and will fail me an inspection) Totals roughly $400
- Get my windshield replaced (has a shiny new crack in it i got recently. lovely.) Totals roughly $200 with insurance.
- Pay my car payment for two months (overdue by one month) so I can get back on my feet by the end of September. Totals $1000.
- Get a MD/DE/PA inspection so I could get back to driving on Uber or Lyft. Likely will cost about $40 to $60? Estimating based on what it cost in New York.
If this gets done, then... I might be able to squeak out a victory out of a bad situation. Please help if you're able. I'm doing everything I possibly can and I abhor asking anyone for help. This isn't easy to post. But.. Please, help.
Thank you for your time.
