Now that I’ve successfully sucked you in with that hilarious title, I want to get serious for a moment.

I need help.

Specifically, money-wise.

As many of you that frequent my blog know, a series of financial difficulties hit me last year, and they have only gotten worse with the start of 2018. I’ve been trying to keep on a strong face about it, but it’s been difficult, anxiety-inducing, and terrifying. There is a very real possibility that I may even have to quit school, because it is becoming more and more difficult to pay for it and I have nobody in my family that can afford to help me (in fact, more often then not, I have to help them). I am in the process of trying to get as many scholarships and grants as I can find, but the process is slow and often fruitless. I have also recently found out that that the company I work for could go out of business before the end of the year, so along with juggling my home life, school life, personal life, and mental health, I’m also going to need to find another job. Possibly more.

I can no longer help my Mom save up for her leg treatments, I can’t afford therapy, I can’t afford to pay for my meds, and one of my dogs can no longer walk on her own but there’s nothing I can do to help her. Basically, I’m up shit creek in a sinking boat with a smile on my face, because I promised myself that despite anything that happens this year, I’m gonna remain hopeful. No matter what, I’ll still be smiling. No matter fucking what.

So, I’m taking a chance. I’m doing something that I hate doing, and asking for help. Any sort of help, whether it be reblogging this post, donating, or even just offering me a kind word.

If every single one of my followers were to give me a dollar, just one, I would be fine. I’d have enough to properly get on my feet again and then some! But considering that’s a rather vague goal, I’ll go with this instead:

$1500

If I could get this much out of this post, it would be perfect. I would be stable in my finances (for the first time ever), I could begin saving again, I wouldn’t have to worry about having to quit school, I could start helping my Mom save up for her treatments again, I could afford therapy and meds, and I’d be able to help my dog.

I realize that this is asking a lot. That is a very large sum of money, and times are exceedingly difficult for everyone right now, but if you can spare anything, it would mean the world to me. Below are a few links:

Patreon

PayPal

Ko-Fi

I would also like to say that I will keep you all appraised of how it is going. If I manage to get to $1500, I will make an announcement and any further donations would be donated to others in need. It’s the least I can do.

Thanks for reading *hugs you*
