Dominic Griffin hasn't added a story.
As many of you know, my girlfriend and I have been without a place to call our own since March. It has sucked. Previously, we've reached out for help both to get by and to save our belongings from the storage facility auction block. We've made it this far largely thanks to the persistent kindness, support and love of friends and strangers. Finding a place with my unfortunate credit history was very difficult but we've found a spot in Silver Spring, in the nifty Canada Dry building. We're set to move in on the 15th but had to dip into our security deposit money just to keep a roof until the move in date.
I'm not proud to have to go on the internet with my hands out like Oliver Twist (again) but getting into this place is the endpoint for us. We just want to have a real address and get settled so we can start paying off debts to friends and begin paying forward the astonishing amount of human decency that's been shown to us over a very hard year.
I didn't add perks to this because I'm still working on the
fanfiction I promised from the last
campaign (which,
coincidentally, had some great creative breakthroughs last week) but
my
entire goal for the remainder of 2014 is getting square with
people. We're not asking for this
money as a handout. I want to
be able to have anyone who has helped us out paid back by the end of
next month, and doing all of that will be so much easier with fixed
expenses and, like, an actual home, than the unwieldy finance suck
that is transient living.
Anything anyone can spare will be greatly appreciated.
