Holly Irons hasn't added a story.
Hello. My name is Holly and for the last year, I've been struggling to survive due to medical ailments. When offered the chance to sell bitcoin for a ban deposit from an acquaintance, I obliged in order to survive and pay additional bills that had been piling up.
Desperation makes you blind at times, but I still made the effort to verify it was a legit payment by calling the credit union to verify the deposit went through prior to purchasing and sending bitcoin. Even they were momentarily duped by the deposit, as it came back as a fraudulent payment days later. And just like that, I was hit with a mirage scam. My account is frozen until the 8th, at which point I will have a negative balance to deal with, most likely via bankruptcy, at this rate.
I'm ignoring my need of medications or food in order to cover my expenses for power ($200), water ($100), and rent ($500). Any additional amounts raised will go to monthly bills (medications, food, car payment, bus fare) as well as the negative balance so that I can get back to using my bank account, hopefully.
Any and all help is appreciated, from financial donations, words of support, even simply sharing this fundrazr. I'm back to feeling like a failure for having to ask for help over such an idiotic move, but I truly was just trying to make ends meet. With 2 full time jobs and a chronic migraine causing me to still miss days at both, I'm scrambling in life to pay bills, afford the lawsuit with my ex landlord, and pay for medications to try to stop this active migraine. At this point, nothing can be done with my account, I cannot afford suing the acquaintance, and I simply need to make sure that Dan and I do not lose a roof over our heads.
My fingers are crossed that things will be better, but I can't do this simply on optimism and hopes. I turn to you, friends, family, and loved ones, and ask for your help while I try to survive this troubling time. I'm hoping this will be the last time I have to request your help, but at this moment, it's the most valuable help that I need!
Thank you for your support!
