Help MA survive April and prevent MS Relapse
Donation protected
THANK YOU EVERYONE. The goal has been reduced to just cover rent as that is the main source of anxiety at the moment.
This is not where I expected to be but I have run out of options. I catsit even though I am allergic. I Doordash after my 9-5 even though my hips hurt when I exit the car. I work several freelance jobs.
May is awesome because it is the annual MS Walk in Philly, there are 3 pay periods for me and I get a small bonus at the beginning of the month. Can it be May?
But April has me depressed. Like sleep as much as possible to avoid pain, depressed. Two of my freelance checks were late (one did not even get processed until I asked about it). I have $1,108 in Venmo debt (lowered the goal on 4/7 to omit this debt which I will own) which I need (Venmo) to pay my $1,250 rent. We are not going to talk about the rest of April expenses....I just want to pay my rent.
I Doordashed on fumes today to get gas money for my car. I work for it! I am working on budgeting! I am doing my best. But this month my best is not enough. I was denied a loan because I am in a debt counseling program. I have tried everything (legal).
Anything will bring me to tears in appreciation.
About me: Single 36-yr old female and dog mom with FT job and side hustles and very simple (like $1.25 Tree) tastes. I male use of food pantries. I also have multiple sclerosis but I work hard and don't let that hold me back. I have a huge heart and will pay it forward ten fold when I am able. Because life is not just about receiving.
I do not take this fundraising effort lightly. It makes me nauseous but so does not paying my rent on time...
$1,250 - April Rent
Anything extra - GoFundMe fees
Also happy to pay back vs. Donation ad I was raised not to beg.
