Help Amoni be able to afford to Eat
Donation protected
Summary:
Right now I'm able to eat once every other day or so, and I haven't been able to afford food since around the beginning of October. All the food I've eaten since October has been given to me or paid for by someone else. All my bank accounts are over-drafted from paying bills and all my bills are now past due.
I recently stopped working 7 jobs and now work as a Marketing Executive in training, and in the near future have the opportunity to start making $100k/yr
I'm looking for about $5000 before January 30th and the money I get from this campaign would go directly to buying food, gas, and paying off past due bill balances so I can get my life back on track.
Also, if you want to bring me food, or just come say hi, that also helps a lot. I can give you information to do so if you'd like, just contact me through a direct Facebook message.
Here's what happened:
In July, a sublet in my apartment left without paying rent, forcing me to pay his portion of the rent, late fees, and utilities (about $1200).
In August this happened a second time when I attempted to replace the sublet. He paid $250 and left me to pay the remainder ($750).
Also in August, I moved out of that apartment and into a 3 bedroom house. However, when we moved, one of our roommates backed out at the last second, leaving us to pay the security deposit and the rent payment without them. (about $1933 total cost). I took out a loan to help make this payment along with the rent payment.
In September a tire on my car exploded, and I had to replace all the tires ($400).
A week later, the check engine light came on and I had to take it in for a maintenance repair (about $700).
Because of all these things, starting in about Septemeber, I was unable to pay for things like my phone bill, my car note, rent, utilities, anything at all really. I was working 7 jobs to try to pay for everything, but I was spending more money on bills than I was making working all my jobs. I was lucky enough to be able to receive loans from my parents and friends for rent and utilities, but because my jobs were inadequate and too sporadic, it wasn't enough to help.
In October my bank account over-drafted due to a rent payment and since then, has stayed negative. I had two bank accounts, so in order to keep paying for things, I moved all my money to my second one, but once my car needed repair, I over-drafted that account as well. I also entered a debt consolidation program this month.
In November my bank accounts were at about -$2000 and -$500, all my bills (rent, utilities, phone, car, etc...) were past due. Because of the previous loan, and my past due balance I don't qualify for any loans. However, I was able to get a job in November that should be pretty steady. If I'm able to continue working there, there's a high possibility that I will become an executive of the company, and run my own branch, with a starting salary of about $100k/yr before the end of 2018.
Currently, I have -$1000 and -$280 in my bank accounts, my vehicle registration is past due ($350), my phone bill is past due by 2 months and my phone service is off ($320), my car note is 2 months past due ($360), my rent is due ($900 Jan 1, $450 now), and I'm working on figuring out a way to pay back the loans from family and friends for past rent and gas ($1800)
Essentially, if I'm able to pay off my immediate debts (not credit-card or student debts, but rent and utilities and such), I can afford to live from here on out. I can make enough money to pay my rent, utilities, car, and phone bills, as well as continue to invest in my debt consolidation program and, most importantly, eat. The issue currently is that I have so much to recover from, that my past debts are making it impossible to move forward.
Literally, anything helps. $1 is the difference between eating and not eating for me right now, I'm using nickles and pennies to pay for gas to get to and from work. I'm doing everything in my power to get out of this situation, but everything I've tried so far hasn't been enough. I'm willing to answer any questions regarding what's going on and what I've done to fix it, but I honestly don't think I can survive this way on my own. I appreciate any and all help, and I will not forget those who helped me. I will do my best to repay any efforts made to help me out of this situation in any way I can.
Thank you for your help and always keeping me in your thoughts and prayers.
