Help Me Get On My Feet

Donation protected
Hello everyone, my name is Aaron Jackson and I'm seeking any help I can get that will enable me to escape the debts I've accrued over the past year via a medical bill I've been trying my best to pay off in payments, credit card debt that fell onto my shoulders to take on, and keeping my car in working condition. For those wanting to know, I deliver for Grubhub and it's been a great opportunity to be an independent contractor; essentially my own boss, supervisor, etc. I make my own hours and choose when to do work. However lately in the coming (as of this writing) holiday hours, the aforementioned bills and maintenance have been harder to keep up. While I am usually a high spirited individual and have been able to take care of everything myself, I remain stressed by the issue of debt that doesn't seem to be going away anytime soon, and I need to change that in order to better my own personal future and investments. I have spent so much time giving a lot to other people (especially a best friend of mine who passed away in March this year) that I have become a lot more selfish for my own needs.  

I've come here to raise money with the hope that I can buy new tires for my car so I can actually continue working (as two of them are  worn down but still work-safe), my bill when I got some skin cut for oncoming melanoma via a specialist (I am free of said possible melanoma thankfully), and the aforementioned credit card bills. I've been meeting payments of course to make sure I'm never in the red but there's more to my paycheck that goes into other things that aren't just these bills. The funds received therein from this GFM would be helpful since I am trying to stay afloat for not just this Christmas season, but to hopefully gain back some ground AWAY from the debt...and as soon as possible.

Considering I am self employed and with Grubhub of my own will and have been successfully managing for 2 years running, I have to consider -my own groceries
-my monthly cell phone bill
-my health insurance
-my car insurance
-gas
-oil changes

...and any food I purchase just to stay healthy on the daily via lunch/dinner/snacks. I've been on a good streak of losing weight for over the past year and I am very proud of my progress so my diet has to stay as good as it is. Yet doing all of these things eats up more of my paycheck than I'd like to admit. 

I rarely ask for help; in the past I honestly overextended my sincerity to people over my lifetime and never got anything back. But if you can find it within you to throw something my way to help me out I would more than appreciate it. I know that all I can give back is just a simple 'thank you' considering as of this writing it's the Christmas season, but anything helps.
