State of Resolve: Two Steps Forward... · 7:53am Apr 12th, 2019
Folks, I am so sorry to do this, but I really, really am in a jam.
I feel like I can see the shore, I can't seem to reach it...
A little backstory for those curious, because you deserve that much for even following along. Last year around September my wife started getting horrible migraines on a somewhat constant basis. We basically went through four months of her on leave while we did tests, ending in her getting a new med to get them under control. We got her back to work, and things were good for a bit... we got her back to full time hours and it looked like we were going to be able to catch up despite having had to take out some expensive payday loans for the first time in years.
Then they flared up again, despite the medicine.
We know why, and it's kind of amazing and awful at the same time. I had the weirdest problem with bees coming into my apartment and while back, they would get in and then just be half dead, and I would have to swat/spray them to finish that job. Well, they stopped, but apparently left behind a present in the form of a hive that dripped honey on my ceiling... which attracted rodents, who ate my ceiling leaving behind plaster dust and their droppings which fell down on my wife's side of the bed.
One of the major triggers for my wife's migraines is bad air quality, so... hole in the ceiling letting in insulation and dust and... yeah. We had it patched since (our apartment complex didn't know we were dealing with rodents, we thought it was just an odd hole in the ceiling ourselves and were only worried when it kept getting bigger) but it's made her miss a couple more weeks of work which we just did not need.
The upshot of all of this is... I had intended on paying off two payday loans of around 300 each, now that's grown to a little over 800 and I have no means to do more than just pay the interest to somehow keep afloat. The interest on these things is around 200.00 a paycheck. I... I've never felt so damned hopeless just as it looked like things were getting back to normal. If anyone can help, even a little, here's my paypal. If not... thank you for listening to me scream into the void a bit. I hope you and yours are well and happy.
I don't have any source of income (being unemployed is the worst...) but I did give you a bit of a signal boost. I hope it brings in a few people, if nothing else.
I can barely afford to take care of myself, let alone anyone else. I feel your pain though, man, I'll see what I can do. Can't promise you nothing tho because I would feel like an absolute piece of shit if I made a promise and didn't keep it.
I'll be boosting this as well.
I am very sorry to hear that you are going through such a situation, I do hope things get better for you soon, however, I am not in a financial situation to be able to help, I am sorry.

No problem mate.
Unemployed and broke myself, besides. I'll reach out to my circles and see if I can find someone generous and a little fat in the wallet. Best of luck to you both, Steel.

Oof, been there more than once, Aurora. That's honestly what makes situations like this the worst, I am employed, working full time, and still can't make ends meet because in this economy you need two to make it. Thank you for putting it out there, though.
