Most of you know that I tend to keep a lot of my private life, private. I prefer to pretend to be ok than appear vulnerable. But I don’t have a choice anymore so I'm not sure where to begin, really. Ever since Hurricane Helene, I have been in a financial bind. The hurricane dropped a tree on my Jeep that I had just purchased from FB Marketplace, so I was out several thousand dollars because I hadn't been able to get insurance on it when the hurricane happened. I went 14 days without power after that while everything was being repaired where I live.

I do work and am a disabled veteran. However, I've had several health issues that have left me in the hospital for a bit in January, as well as a few days last month. And with my job, if I don't work, I don't get paid. Having to use Uber every day to get back and forth to work for several months has left me broke and desperate, with not even enough left to pay for my rent. and now, I’m being evicted because of it. My birthday is March 12th, and guess what day I’m being evicted, March 12th. FML, I haven’t gotten a real present in ten years lol. The only reason I haven’t taken a dirt nap is because of my dog, gf, and the VA crisis line. But damn how much more can I take??my past due rent is 2k, past due power is almost 2k, and I’d like something for a vehicle, I can’t even save up anything for a down payment as every bit goes towards what little I can pay towards rent, food for my dog, and ramen for me. Asking for help makes me feel less than a man. Seems like some days I basically work so I can pay uber/lyft. Idk, a toaster bath sounds kind of restful at this point lol. Don’t worry, i probably won’t do anything stupid.
