Things continue to get worse, now my hours have been cut to 28 a week. Our water is probably getting turned off in 3 days. Really feeling terrified.
With the help of family and a great friend, I was able to pay rent in August.
So many short weeks, slow days with low tips, my car being damaged(I am making payments, so it had to be repaired. Hit and run, so I had to have it repaired and pay a deductible), car repairs, medical bills, and now missing days because of Florence I am hopelessly behind in everything.
It all started when I got a loan to buy my car. Then a loan for tires. Then the car broke down and yet another loan.
Things were fine until hours were cut and I started getting behind, and had to live partially on credit cards and loan extensions. I am tapped out, and probably couldn't borrow enough money to buy a gum ball.
I am drowning in debt, and desperately need to get out, so I can continue to care for my granddaughter. I am in debt to the tune of $18,000. That is her in the picture. Also if I can get free of this, I can buy us a small mobile home in February at tax time. If I just had a small home payment with regular monthly bills like electric, we could be good.
Anything would help. I know many people have money problems too. And sharing this would be a great help too
