Help Me Pay My Student Loans

GREETING/SALUTATION:
Hiya! I'm a lazy millenial and I need your money.
No wait, that's not right. My name is James Rambo and I'm having a hell of a time meeting my bills right now, specifically the dreaded STUDENT LOAN PAYMENT. I need your help to make that happen. EXPOUND UPON WHY YOU NEED THIS MONEY? The short version of this story is that I changed jobs just under 3 months ago, checks didn't line up the way I thought they would, and my already thin budget isn't cutting the mustard. As such, I've been piggybacking check to check and falling further and further behind on my payments. This money would be used for my next payment (due at the beginning of next month) and a lingering amount from this month but most importantly to get it covered before December 7th. That date is the deadline for me to change my payment due date from the beginning of the month to the end of the month. If I can do this I should have no problem getting back on track. Obviously that's a tight deadline but I've managed to procrastinate even on asking for help. I am me, through and through. WHY NOT BORROW THE MONEY? Great question! I will refer you to my aforementioned thin budget and the very real possibility that I won't be able to pay it back. The last thing I need is more debt and I don't want to add tension to a relationship with a friend of family member. So no, no loans. Maybe at some point in the future I'll be able to make full restitution but for now lets assume I won't be able to. HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THIS? Shitty! I HATE asking for a handout but I do need the help. I'm happy to work in trade, either via my Etsy store or through commissions. Nothing like original art for the holidays! The good news is I'm not in danger of default, so that's nice. But I'm reaching out before that's a serious concern. Also, had you planned on getting me a gift for Christmas/Hanukkah/Kwanzaa/Festivus? This would be great in lieu of that! If you've made it this far, thanks. You either care or are bored so have this link to a song that always makes me smile: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hxsOXOPni0o YOU MENTIONED ETSY? Yes! Here's a link to my etsy store. Go forth and buy my art! www.etsy.com/shop/artofjamesrambo Or, want something personal, just for you? Commissions are open! Please email me via GoFundMe. If you're able to help, I really could use it. If you're not, I totally understand. Either way I appreciate you taking the time to read this.
EDIT: We hit the initial goal in 5 hours. You folks are amazing.
So here's the deal. I've increased the initial goal to $2000 from $1800 to account for fees because I wasn't smart enough to think of of that initially. But, anything made beyond that? That's going to Planned Parenthood!
Seriously -- just amazing. Thank you all so much.
