Help us get back on our feet
Hi guys. First of I appreciate you reading this. I really do. I feel bad for posting this because people in worse situations than us but this summer has to be cruel to us. My family and I had never been rich but we were able to get by. Unfourtenly that's changed. My mom and dad are basically out of money till 8/26. The only money they have is about enough for rent. (when they get paid) I had to pay for their groceries which was only about $100. We're still trying to get through this by ourselves. I'm staying back for a semster from college and working two jobs to help my family. We tried to look to see if they were any programs to help us but according to them we make too much money. My mom and my dad are both working but they are only mimumum wage jobs. We really need help with three things car payments, rent, and misc bills.
2,500 will go to getting us a car or paying back Toyota. See,Right now we are borrowing one of the cars that my mom's sister and her husband have because in about middle of july we had our car repossessed. Before that for a month we had to rent a car which was very pricey. Although they are being very genorous and don't mind us using it we would look to get our own as soon as possible.Our uncle is in talks with a guy he knows to get us a car for about 2,000 which he would pay for and we would pay him back when we can. If that works out the 2,500 will go to paying back toyota the 5,000 we owe them. If that doesn't happen we will put that money towards getting a car for ourselves. Due to the repossession we would have to put at least a 1,000 dollars down and the other 1,500 according to my father would pay for 5 months of payments of the car.
2,000 will go to rent. Our rent is about 1,300. Our landlord is very adamant about getting the check on the first of the month.We've already had a check bounce once and she's pissed at us about this. Just helping us out with one month's rent and part of another rent will help us catch up on bills. Our finical situation is a situation where it's hard for us to pay both and not get behind in one. We have enough money for september rent's.
1,000 will go to bills such as gas,electric, and most importanly as some of you know earlier we had a family emergancy (everything's fine now) where my dad was in the hosiptal. We're waiting on the bill for that.
Thank you so much for reading this. I know that we're asking for a lot of money but I wouldn't ask for this if we weren't truly desprate.
