August Frame-Agosto hasn't added a story.
Hello! I'm August. If you don't know my story, I'm currently studying to be an Air Traffic Controller in Colorado, a venture that's proven difficult enough on its own. Being away from most everyone I've know for most of my life has been incredibly challenging but I've been pushing through, day-by-day to get myself to a place where I can take a deep breath every once in a while.
It's been expensive. On top of school being expensive (Thanks Education system) I made the (arguably questionable) decision to buy a car before I moved out here as well as moved (into a perfectly placed apartment complex, halfway between work and school) which is much more expensive than where I was living before. For the first year I was fortunate enough to have a fabulous roommate that made my financial burden bearable.
Things aren't so great anymore. Due to the requirements of this apartment complex, I was unable to leave my lease after the first year and have been stuck here for another year. That means maintaining and paying for a 2bedroom apartment while living alone. It's no cheap affair. I've been squeezing by fortunately thanks to taking on a Supervisory position at my current job.
But it got worse and is the reason I've chosen to call out to all of you for help. Let me preface this with I am working with my bank to get it resolved but as some of you may know, this takes time. I don't have very much time before things fall apart. I was already short a couple hundred for all my bills this month. I figured I would just sell some belongings if I was able to scrape the extra cash up and make plans to work as much OT as would keep me just above the line of dying from exertion.
However, when I woke up on the day to pay rent, I discovered a debit of just under a grand from my account that I definitely did not authorize and have no idea where it came from. Honestly I'm still pretty numb to the fact but the issue is clear. I don't have any idea how I'm going to find that kind of money on short notice. paying for this apartment alone despite efforts to find another great roommate drained what little I had saved and I'm in quite the pickle at this point. I realize I don't have a very worthy cause outside of my own idiocy and bad fortune but I am hopeful that there are some souls with a little extra that they can give. I'm still attempting to buy myself time with bills and rent but I'm not sure how long I can keep that going.
I ask if you have the ability, please help. I've got a lot between
school and work to maintain and this event is pushing me to my limits.
I know it's a lot to ask, but thank you. Truly, from the bottom of the
pit that I claim to be a heart and soul, any help is appreciated. Even
if sharing my plight, every little effort counts.
Thank You.
