can raise the money no other way

in the last two years i have injured both my hands.
i get by by doing odd jobs involving the use of my hands
(manual labor)...
one sugery i am avoiding but having my right thumb operated on seems to be unavoidable...
all these things i still considered minor until i had to borrow money for a few emergencies ( flights to go home recently, car issues, and not bein able to get started on a two man portable car/house washing (power spray) endevor...
i have had a friend go into debt to help and now they are straining too and i just want to get them in a better place financially for their help...
$5,500 would set things up to carry out the big picture
however $3,000 is manageable...
nobody owes me a life and even puting up this go fund me makes me feel kind of less than... i need to do this...
i don't want to, I NEED TO...
i have a monthly income that cannot sustain my dog and i and take care of paying off these debts and i can only say "thank you" for the kindness you can show...
