I am so lucky to be alive. I am so lucky to have insurance money that will compensate me for my car. I am so lucky to have God and my dad in heaven on my side. And I am so lucky for the support of my friends! (I am even luckier to have friends who supply me with weaponry) :)
But here's the thing...
The reason I was at my office so early in the morning (7am on a Saturday) is because I have been living homeless for a little over a month...
I had an apartment, got robbed 4 times and decided to move, moved in at a live in job, moved everything I own to storage, and spent over $600 in moving costs...
The live in job didn't work out, and I had to immediately find another place to live... I had friends who offered me a place to stay, but nobody could house my dog (my literal best friend). So, I made the decision to sleep in my office until I could save for an apartment.
Once I moved I ran into problem after problem. I have been trying to save up, but with everything that happened to my car (before the incident mentioned above), and buying a hotel here and there when I couldn't bum a shower from a friend, I have not been able to come up with the funds necessary to move...
Ever since I have been living in my office, I have been looking around for a safe/cheap place to stay, and I finally found one that fits all my needs.
Here's where I need help...
I have been checking craigslist every day since I have been living in my office looking for deals, and the cheapest/safest apartment I have found usually runs for $700-$650/month. It is now on sale for $550/month with all utilities included.
I realize that these fundraisers rarely work, but ANYTHING HELPS! Even $5 put towards my goal will help me...
I have a time limit on this deal, and I am trying to jump on it asap before they rent the apartment out...
I paint, and I can work out a deal about painting something of your choice...
You can consider it a loan...
You can have me clean your house...
ANYTHING!
I just need to come up with this money fast...
I can't even think of my office without thinking about what that idiot did to me, much less sleep here...
I am thinking that I need AT LEAST 1st and last month's rent, plus deposit for elec (the only utility not included), and maybe $200 for a futon (I gave my bed and couches away when I moved).
$1100 First and last month's rent
$350 Dog security deposit
$300 Security deposit
$150 Elec deposit
$150 moving costs (uhaul and lunch for friends who help me unload)
$200 futon/couch
$115 5% fundraiser cost
$?? Unforeseen moving expenses
