Please Help With Bills While I'm Out With a Broken Ankle❤️

Hi friends. First, let me say I know things are tough for everyone these days. I recognize and don't minimize the struggles of anyone. I love you all and would help in an instant if I was in the right place for that.

Unfortunately, things have been relentless for me since May. I'm a bartender who works hard, long days (16+ hours) trying to make ends meet, but have been failing.

Both of my jobs went on vacation for two weeks in July and August, unpaid because that's how the hospitality industry works. No fault of either GREAT place I work.

Within that time, I was hit with an almost $500 bill (yes, really) to renew my car registration that expired in August.

The day I found out, I got a ticket for an expired inspection sticker, adding another $110 I owe currently to the DMV.

Since then, I have cut a piece of my finger off and missed work, among other things, and now Ive broken my ankle, and might need surgery, possibly putting me out even longer.

I work very, very hard, but my body is breaking down from taking on so much, and with all that has happened I'm still struggling to stay afloat. I am financially depleted, and physically and mentally fatigued.

Rent and utilities are where I am struggling at the moment. To be frank, September's rent still needs to be paid and my utilities are overdue.

It's really hard to be publicly vulnerable and ask for help, and I am working to get over that shame and embarrassment, so here I am, asking for your help.

$1500 is a lot of money, but will cover my rent for September and grant me enough funds and time to hopefully get me back on track for next month (granted nothing else major happens, fingers crossed).

$900 will be go toward my rent.

$265 will be going toward my car note.

$220 will be going toward car insurance.

& $150 will be going toward a health insurance down payment (to get my medication)

I need groceries and to pay my utilities as well, but I'm looking into additional resources.

If you can help, I appreciate you endlessly. If you can't, I understand and still appreciate you endlessly. This isn't meant to be a poor me campaign but it does help to have some context and transparency.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read through this. I hope you are well.

Love,

Chelsey
