Help bring my stuff from Calgary to Montreal
Donation protected
Hello,
It's JHNNAI. I hope everyone has had a nice day. I've been hesitant to share this for obvious reasons, but the circumstances I’m facing leave me no choice. I recently moved to Quebec on October 29, 2024, with the goal of studying and learning French for an album. I have applied for francisation, but one of the requirements is that I need to be free from 8 AM to 4:30 PM for classes.
To cover my bills, including retrieving my belongings from Calgary and paying back my Calgary roommate, I have two options: work two temporary jobs (which I can’t do because I need that time for francisation and most jobs in Montreal require French) or work until I have enough money to get my things.
You might be wondering why my belongings didn’t come with me. Long story short, I was supposed to travel with someone across Canada to stay in Montreal, but they bailed at the last minute. I had to buy an emergency flight to get here by Thursday and could only bring my laptop and a personal item bag.
My streaming gear has failed, including an LCD screen and my live controller, so I need around $1,000 to replace that equipment. I also estimate needing another $1,000 to bring my belongings from Calgary to Montreal, which is a distance of 3,500 km. Additionally, I owe my roommate about $800. It’s all quite overwhelming, and I really want to focus on being a musician and streamer.
I have one job in Montreal, which is great, but I relied on streaming for income as well. The main issue is that I want to prioritize studying French, and working two jobs will not allow me to do that. On top of everything, I have to stop streaming until I can sort out this financial situation.
If we can achieve this goal, it would improve my living situation and allow for a fresh start as I intended.
