Support Our Struggle Through Job Loss and Family Illness
Donation protected
I hate to do this, but I'm desperate.
On Tuesday, my partner lost his job. I make $18/hour and cannot afford to carry our weight in rent and utilities, not even including my own bills and debts.
Earlier today, I was told that my grandmother is dying. Hospice gives her a month, but, she hasn't been eating, and my other grandmother passed in a very similar way; I truly don't think she has a full month ahead of her. She, and the rest of my family, are 2,000 miles away.
I have $300 in flight credits, but with such short notice, I would still need to spend $100-$200 to get a flight ASAP.
I'm already struggling to figure out how to carry our household bills on my low income, let alone figure out to to fly out to see my grandmother/afford to fly out for a funeral.
Again, I hate asking... for anything. But this has been one blow after another. Anything helps. I worked overtime this week in my call center, getting underpaid to have people verbally abuse me for 8-9 hours a day. I need help. I'm at my limit, mentally, emotionally, and financially.
