Hello everyone, thank you for taking the time to read this.
I am in a really tough spot and it looks like I will soon be out of home. This all stems from my hard ass landlord increasing my rent payments in November, to an extent that I’m now struggling to keep up with all the normal expenses I have (groceries, gas, medical bills, insurance, etc).
In weeks passed, I’ve had to pawn a few of my things (old instruments, speakers, appliances) in order to scrounge together enough money to pay all the bills. I have a full-time job in IT at a local hospital but the pay is not enough. This week, I am at the end of my rope. The only thing I could pawn for any significant sum would be my father’s old guitar, which I absolutely refuse to part with. It’s one of the only sentimental things I have of his and I would rather die than sell it to some dingy shop for 1/3 of what it’s worth. That being said, I don’t know what else I can do for the money I need.
I’m typing this and desperately hoping that someone with the means will empathize/sympathize with my situation. I’ve always been careful with my money, but the rent increase ontop of everything else has crippled me financially.
Is there anybody out there that can spare a struggling soul some money? I have Venmo and Cashapp. Please do not feel the need to contribute if you are in a similar situation in any way. I already feel so bad asking/taking from others.
Thank you.
