Emergency Rent Situation
Donation protected
After weeks of job hunting, selling things and doing everything I can to make ends meet, I've come to a point where I can no longer avoid asking for help.
Here is my situation: I am currently living in Boston, MA for work and school, I work at a cafe at my school and I earn enough to make ends meet. But when the school year ends, so does my job. I started looking for roommates months ago, someone permanent to last through the summer, but the two people that were interested both flaked and I have been stuck with paying 800/month on top of piling bills. Due to my last roommate giving me short notice of her leave I had to put all of my savings towards last months rent.
This left me with no job, no roommate, and no solution. I've started selling nearly everything I own but the money I've been earning has not been enough.
I've finally secured myself two part time jobs, but my checks won't be coming in until next month, far past the due date of my rent.
This has left me absolutely desperate. My last month(August) was paid in advance so this month is the last month I need money for until I move.
On top of my rent, I have been unable to afford Medication, therapy and doctors appointments for the last 3-4 months because of this, and the train pass I need to be able to commute to 2 of my 3 jobs.
Asking for help is hard for me, but I'm desperate and I honestly dont have any other options at this point. $1000 would be enough to help me afford living until I start receiving my paychecks. Anything helps, and if you can't afford, please share this. I'd be so grateful.
Thank you so much for helping and sharing, I appreciate everything!
