Rent and Other Necessary Evils
Donation protected
Our mother (pictured during happier times) passed away recently, following a lengthy battle with liver disease. Unfortunately, while we are working at adjusting to her loss, certain parts of life must go on quicker than others.
And, for us, part of that included finding out that the benefits my brother receives as a result of his disability are going to be shifted from being paid on the 3rd, to being paid on the fourth Wednesday of each month.
The problem, of course, is that our rent is actually due on the third. We should be fine in future months, but the payment received in June already went to pay June's rent, and the July payment won't be received until the 25th, presenting us with the question of how to make the payment that comes between the two.
While I can cover a portion of the cost, covering the entire payment out of my next paycheck will leave a major, hard to replace chunk out of our expenses for the next two weeks. Which brings me here, hoping to bring in some portion of the additional expense to help make that stretch in the middle a little less stretchy. We are working on adjusting our budgets to get the money coming in closer to the money going out (and the *timing* of each), but that doesn't happen over night.
I know that things are tight all around, but I'm really hoping that there are enough people willing to throw a few bucks in that it could make the difference.
Ideally, we need funds before the end of the month. However, anything that can be donated will help, even if it comes in after that time to help with any bills that have to be put off because of all this. Anything extra that gets received will go towards paying additional bills and upcoming moving expenses.
Thank you for taking the time to read this, and thank you in advance for any help that you can provide.
