Hey y'all, I'm so embarrassed to be posting this but I am at a loss at what else to do. I have reached a financial crisis.

My contract with wake county ended earlier this month and my last paycheck just deposited today and it was nowhere near what i thought it would be. I am late on June's rent and told the office I would be able to pay by June 28-29 because I thought I was going to have a relatively normal paycheck. But I didn't and am not even close to the $1600 that I owe.

I was out of work for a bit because Lorelai and Luna were VERY sick and had to go to 3 different urgent cares and doctors before someone finally believed me, and they did end up having bronchitis. So I missed 10 days of work total...

I was also told I didn't have any sick days, but I went to the HR building today to see if my paycheck was correct, and while the check was correct, I had 4 sick days that I could have used which would've been close to $500 on said check. They said if I contact my principal she might be able to change it if she decided she wants to approve it, but even if that happens I wouldn't be able to get that payment til July 10th.

I also don't have a vehicle. My brother being the amazing man he has found me a car but I haven't been able to register it because I didn't have the funds for it. It costs $300-400 to register a vehicle these days (big yikes!!)

Also, my darling daughter Luna turned off the cooler inside the fridge and freezer and about $300 worth of food is now spoiled.

On top of all that, my ex is stalking me and I don't feel safe ever, so I wanted to possibly invest in a ring camera.

And asking for a little extra just in case I am not able to come up with next month's rent on time.

I have been crocheting, and princessing, and even the show "A Little Princess" I just closed was a paid gig. But because i haven't had a vehicle full time, I've been sharing my moms (Thanks Mom!!) I haven't been able to doordash/instacart like I normally do when I'm in a bind.

I did just start a new job and will totally pay you back if you feel more comfortable as a loan. I just don't want to lose mine and my girl's home. We've grown comfortable here and really like it.

If you've made it this far thank you so much. If you can't donate please share. You all mean the world to me.
