Just needing a little help.

Donation protected

We're just needing help with this month's bills. I had a job interview this Tuesday(February 6th) that won't be able to pay me in time even if I do get the job and I'm also waiting to see if Saskatoon Trades and Skills is going to accept me for a Construction Labourer Course starting on February 20th which won't be paying me until March 2nd if I am accepted.

I moved to Saskatoon in mid October of 2017 hoping to keep my relationship together with my girlfriend. She and I had an appartment in Regina but I hated my job something fierce. She found herself a nice job in Saskatoon doing school pictures for central Saskatchewan and moved into her mother's place in Saskatoon due to not having any luck finding a reliable job in Regina. This went on for a couple months, I noticed her and I were growing apart and fighting a lot so I agreed to move after her mother invited me to move into the appartment with them. Granted, I should have waited until I found myself a job in Saskatoon but if I had waited then I would have been waiting another 4-5 months before I found anything solid and I doubt I would have lasted that long at the job I had. I had a seasonal position at Sears in Midtown Mall from December to January that I really liked and was optimistic that I would find something else by the time Sears closed down for good but that didn't happen either.

I love Saskatoon but things have not been going well for either of us. The company my girlfriend was working for was sold  and she was, understandably, confident that she would be kept but wasn't. Since the move we've been sharing a vehicle since during all the moving I misplaced my keys which has resulted in a huge run-around, me owing $400 to Volkswagen for service charges, and me still trying to find the part I need if Volkswagen has, indeed, told me the correct part(I had had a huge run-around from them the likes of which is astoudingly incompetent). 

This month though, we just need some help. My girlfriend's mother, her dad, and my own mother have been helping us out wherever they can but it's just too embarassing. We can't even afford to be paying my girlfriend's mother rent. When I was working at Sears I payed her what little I could for power and bought as much groceries as I could afford but that was it. My girlfriend's dad just helped her out with her car payment but that's all he could afford and my mother just lost her job so I can't ask her for help.

My girlfriend and I are both waiting on EI right now(she's having complications with it due to her doing work for a family business) and I'm still waiting for CRA to call me. 

To lay things out for you on why I'm asking for $650 is this:

StorageMart is $116.51 a month.
My car insurance(which I will be canceling next payment) is $84.
Our cat has an auto immune problem due to the neglectful care of my ex-roomate whom we took him from so his vet will is $60 + pills which comes to roughly $80.
We'll need gas money and that'll cost us about $60 for a full tank.

All together that comes to $340.51. 

This is a latch-ditch effort and asking for handouts makes me feel bad enough. I'm only asking for this month because I remain confident that something will come up for my girlfriend and I. Something has to at this point.

Thank you.
