Never had to ask in my life |

This is the first time in my life that I have ever had to ask anyone for help.
I've always had a job, always had a family.
This year has been hard. I'm from Australia we were evacuated from our home due to bushfires and that is where my problems began. When we were able to return so much of my town was ruined but I was OK, my Marriage was not. My Husband couldn't handle the stress, he reverted to his gambling addiction and left the home. I have two kids aged 2 and 4, which I am now supporting on my own. I have a Mortgage, and all the bills associated with that, kids need daycare so I can work, food etc which I get no help with because he won't pay child support as he is gambling too much - he is homeless so I get no help at all.
The bills are piling up and don't stop, my eldest is starting school in January and needs uniforms, bags etc, Christmas is in a few weeks and it is scortching hot here and they have no pool or anything to cool down in. I'm afraid to turn on the AC because of the electricity bill.
I just don't know what to do, or who to turn to. Meanwhile I get abusive and threatening text messages from my Ex-Husband on a daily basis, I'm just trying to survive at this point.

I am not sure how to put this that can be understood. I would do anything for my sister because she toke care of me and her 3 kids all our lives. My mother was very sick and could not do all the things that a mother could do and my sister stepped up and did. I did not understand at first but now that I am grown I see what all she had to do. I was not the perfect little sister. I was very challenging because I was often suspended and getting into a lot of problems. I was my sister handful. I was anger all the time. She never gave up on me! She was there through it all and helping my mom go to doctor appointments, moving and keeping her healthy. My mother passed away when I was in high school at 14 years old. I am the last child and that hurt me to my core. My sister stepped up even more to keep me on track to graduate from high school because that was my mother wish. She sent me to counseling, supported me through the whole transition. She gave up her schooling and working for her kids, our mom and me. I could not ask for a better sister. It was not easy what all she had to do and sometime it was pricey but she made it happen for our family. Well, the reason for my request is after I graduated from high school she sent me to college. She paid for my apartment and everything so I can not have to worry about my schooling. I was not the best and I messed up really bad in school. I stopped school and messed up my apartment. I just lost focused and really messed up. After leaving college I did not know that leaving everything would all come down on my sister to pay for. I left the apartment a mess and now they are charged my sister for an eviction and damage. My sister has a great sou and not upset but I know that this is setting her back and stressing her out. They garnished her wages for the eviction that she paid off but now that are asking for damages and legal fees in the amount of $8800 and I know she does not have and will not every have. This covid virus has less her hours at work and if they garnish her wages she will not have money to live off of. I do not want them to garnish her wages anymore and I can only do so much to help. I am begging anyone that can help me help her I would be so grateful. You do not need to send us any money. I would point you to who is asking for the fees. My sister is my heart and soul and like a true mom to me and If I can help her in anyway I would because she has supported and help me all my life. Please help my sister if you can. Sorry for any typo errors I am a little emotional right now.

Senior Dog Needs Help |

Seasons Greetings,
My rescue senior dog has fragile health. I've been caring for her almost exclusively since I got her, getting her through various health problems in the past few years. She's now 12 and almost completely incontinent. I keep her in a fleece jacket under blankets 24/7 because she's always cold. My apartment building has tetchy heating. It works, sometimes, the window always leaks, it's currently 66 degrees and the heat is set to 90. Nothing is coming out. I've asked for help from the building management every winter I've lived here. Supposedly this building was new when I moved in. I have been in other people's apartments in the building, they don't have the same problem. I try and tell them to fix it, but they send the Super who does nothing but says nothing can be done to make it work better and keep the window closed. I think he doesn't believe me. And makes me sign a paper saying he did something or he won't leave. I'm tired of complaining.
I sleep in a hat with a face mask because the leaking air makes me sick, and I can't move my bed anywhere away from the window as it's a tiny studio. I can't use the space heater which I bought for her last year, it's sparking a lot, I think it's ready to quit and I only got to use it one winter. Do you need to buy a new one every year? That's expensive. I'm disabled, I can't work due to various chronic health problems (it's why I adopted my Dalmatian, she was so old and sick they gave her to me for free. I felt of kindred spirit), have little money and a lot of it I spend on her but this expense I don't have for. I need help for her. Heat for the house in some way (space heater that won't break or get my own repairman in here which management won't like) a bed for her that's very cozy, some pajamas. Anything.
Her bed is expensive, I've been looking for a waterproof one (I can wash off but not have to launder every day which I can't afford when she has an accident which is often) but the only ones are high priced (for my budget). It's been driving me to distraction. I just bought her an apartment potty because she just can't make it outside anymore, her Christmas present. It's wonderful but that was my big expense this year. She's a happy dog and her health is the best I can make it, she just has a few things that (I've spoken to doctors who say it's old age) I can't cure. Apparently, dogs who were spayed sometimes develop incontinence in their old age due to a spinal injury when splayed open on the table for surgery.
Anything will help. I only have a wish this Christmas for her health. It's a Christmas wish I've had before. The first year I had her we healed her up and she didn't need the $1200 surgery that three doctors told me she needed when I first got her. (A different issue.) I was very blessed. I hope to have more miracles with her, and have her with me many years more. This dog saved my life. I was so depressed when I got her, I was next to suicidal. She got me out of it, I'm living again because of her. She's my life. She deserves all I can give her. I am giving that but even I need help. I love her to pieces. As I said, anything would help, even $20 for pajamas for her. Thank you.

Edit/Update: Hi. Just wanted to update about the heating. The landlord did send the superintendent. He did the same as he always does, says I didn't close the window properly and uses a device to check the heater and heating (it's got two red lights to detect temperature?). But basically, he did nothing, slammed the window closed but that is all. He says there is nothing wrong with the heater. I doubt that, it doesn't come on when I turn it on, but that is what he says. (Something about how the building heat is controlled by outside weather.) I don't know how to get through to these people. I'm pretty sure the leaking window is the fault of the air conditioner installation. The window is just a sieve for cold air, and they permanently install the ac. I can't get it out. I can request they take it out but then they'd have to put it back in in the summer. They won't do that in and out business. I've spoken to a tenant who used to live here in the building. She confirmed the windows leaked in her apartment too. So it's probably the windows (which I've covered extensively with insulation and tape and a bag over the ac and curtains over the whole window) and a bit of the heater. I'm looking at space heaters (which I can't afford), the one I have is officially dead. I can't get it to put out any heat. My dog is permanently in a fleece jacket of hers (tattered) and under blankets. It's not enough. I caught her shivering uncontrollably yesterday while under all of it and had to cuddle her out of the shivers. I really don't know what to do. The window leaking is even affecting my health, I wake up with a sore throat. I can't sleep in wind, yet I've been doing this for 4 -5 years. I literally put a face mask on to sleep in hoping to prevent it. This is not how anyone should have to live. I don't know to whom I complain in order to get this fixed. All complaints to my building management go unbelieved. It's not a matter of just putting on more clothes at this point, it's a matter of being able to heat my apartment ( a very tiny apartment which shouldn't be hard to heat as it is so tiny) when I want to.
Edit/Update 2: I've bought everything for my dog on my own money. No one donated to help, did it on my own dime, so she's good. Probably. Her feet are messed up and I need to buy her some walkee paws for going in the snow but that's all and I can buy that if I skip buying anything else this Christmas. But she has a bed and pajamas and coat and a pair of shoes are in the mail. They will take a month to get here as I bought everything on Aliexpress to afford it.
The heating situation is worsening. It's 64 degrees in the house as of December 12, 3pm. The central heating (that's what you call the long baseboard heater?) is barely on. It's been 65 degrees for days, since the snow. The landlord - via the case manager- said there is nothing they can do about the heating. They bought me a space heater... which won't arrive until the 28th. That's the update.
Please note, I also have a bunny in the house. He's also cold. Typically his hidey box is warm from his body heat but it's not now. He I can't cover in blankets like I can my dog. He'd never stand for that. So... the situation isn't affecting just me or my dog. Also, coned bill came. It's $100 now (probably the central heating trying to put out heat but not? Maybe?) can't imagine it with a space heater doing the full heating duty.
I'm not asking for money anymore. I don't think money will help. I'm just flabbergasted at the situation and deliberately ignoring of it the building management is doing. This is an update for the record, really. Like a conclusion.

hey, so I'm kind of at the end of my rope & rock bottom here and I'll get into it since I'm here. I want to preface this by saying that I don't do any drugs & I don't drink except very occasionally.
I left my homestate 3 years ago to move in with my Dad to try & make it in the state he'd lived in and I met a lot of cool people, worked at a lot of good jobs, (& a few shitty ones) y'know.
Ended up fired from 1 job for fucking around for a few mins even though it was a nightshift stocking job, from another one for smoking cigarettes on trash runs (with the dumpster yards away from customers, iirc) & then getting misdiagnosed with Bipolar & put on meds that made me a zombie at night & hyper every other couple of days at work, although that job was working out great.
Uncle dies, fired from the job because a coworker thought I stole money from him at a party the night before & tried to beat me on shift, I'm the one that gets fired even tho he started shit because he'd been there for years. Also, someone scammed me out of a ton of money off of one of those internet "pay me, I'll pay u" type things. Got into a slump for a little bit after those 3 great experiences, Dad starts dumping me in the city to look for work instead of the town we were in? So we mutually agree to kick me out.
Went back to my homestate, cousins friend gave me a spot for a few weeks but it was too small for 2 ppl, end up moving in with relatives but every job I could get from their place wasn't paying enough to get me out of the poverty hole fast enough. Quit working for a bit & started working out & studying for weeks and gathering medical records from my family doctor & my time in Maine so I could join the Army - then they said I couldn't join because of a depression diagnosis even though they'd lead me on to think it wouldn't matter. Got another dishwashing job, place closed down for the season - that's Christmas, 2018.
Decided to move in with some work friends from my Dads state, they'd gone back to theirs out Midwest. Even tho they said they were cool with me not paying rent as long as I was trying to get on my feet, they threw me out once my job started fucking me on hours. Whatever! From there I bounced from shelter to shelter, job to job & friend group to friend group.
Came to Boston & tried to get in with social programs because at this point shit was really starting to get to me, nothing really happened & I ended up moving out to Cali with a friend to try volunteer farming off of the Co-Vid stimulus $ (along with paying off some friends I owed money to), boss said I might be able to do lab work for him & got me training (& said he wouldn't mind me getting a night job if I wanted, too) but ended up paying to send me back home.
I've met a lot of good people & worked for some good people but obviously, nothings ever really worked out for me & I've been fired from jobs for rly minor reasons & quit a few just from dissatisfaction of things not moving fast enough. I've done some volunteer work & a lot of favors from people but never really made longlasting, close friends since I was a teenager - I'm Bi & people always seem to gravitate towards and then away from me.
So I'm back in my home state again now & on the street. Family has moved out all over the state & country, a lot of old friends have dropped me, others are too busy, others disappeared & others moved out of state years ago to do their own thing.
Found out I was adopted & that my real parents both had schizophrenia [which has been getting worse for me in the last few years. Kind of stabilized by now but.. yeah.] & my adoptees knew about that & that I might be autistic & didn't tell me - I had to find out after the fact, same with the adoption from my family doctor.
Finally biting the bullet and swallowing my pride and living in a makeshift structure under a bridge to avoid the toxicity of the shelter system while accessing as many programs as possible, mostly doing the leg & paperwork for that but I'm tired, hungry, [even with an EBT card] stressed, thirsty, going through caffeine & nicotine withdrawals & just overwhelmed lately doing everything by myself without a car or even just a bike.
My family doesn't feel like my family anymore and I've been diagnosed with PTSD at this point which really gets to me but have no meds for that, the ADHD or Schizophrenia. I pretend everything is okay in public & with people all of the time but it's really not at all & I'm really starting to both feel my age with how beleaguered I am & my youth with the fact I've lived life but I'm not living at all. I feel dead most of the time no matter how active, energized or happy I am.
I've found a plaza with multiple hotels & motels near me and I was wondering if anyone would be kind enough to throw 100 $ or so for me to get a room for a night so I can get some natural rest, do some laundry, plan out my next moves & relax? I have places to get food & plenty of clothes but it's the little things that help the most rn & even past that, like I said - any & every little bit helps. I change socks constantly just because of how sweated through mine get even though it's winter.

Homeschool Needs |

My girls are currently homeschooling due to the pandemic and I'm not comfortable with sending them to a brick and mortar school. Unfortunately my husband's lost hours through work, also because of the pandemic, with his department closing and having to be moved to another department, as well as the building being closed a few times for deep cleaning after an employee has tested positive for Covid. Money is already tight between normal bills and my husband's medical bills (he has a hefty hospital bill from two surgeries after a cancer diagnosis, one to remove the cancer, another to remove the lymphnodes through his midsection that the cancer had spread to). I have set up a Wish List through Amazon, so items can be purchased and sent directly to my daughters instead of a monetary donation, but I will include my paypal address and Cash App info as well just in case. Any and all help, no matter how big or small, is absolutely, greatly appreciated. I will also be paying it forward as soon as I'm able once I can start working again as well.
Have a blessed day

In Desperate Need Of Last Months Rent to Get Out of Abusive Situation |
Posted by: NovaPie1924 - 12-02-2020, 09:24 PM - Forum: My Request for Help

Hey everyone,
I'm asking for help with last months rent deposit. I'm a 24 year old single mother. I live in Ontario, Canada, so in order to move I need both first and last month's rent. The rent around here is about $1200/month for a 2 bedroom apartment. House rentals are significantly more expensive.
I'm asking for help as I have a 2 year old son. We are living with my parents as I had to move here in order to get out of an abusive relationship with my sons father. He was emotionally, physically, and sexually abusive to me. He also fucked up my credit completely by controlling my finances and refusing to pay my bills.
My father is emotionally abusive as well to me and my family (not my son). I hate that my son has to witness it. No child should have to. It makes me feel like a failure as a mother. I moved in here to get my son away from witnessing abuse, and I failed.
I'm on Ontario Works (welfare) for now as I don't have anyone who can watch my son in order to get a job. I can't afford child care either. Both of my parents are unfortunately disabled so they cannot watch him for me. He is still too young to do anything on his own, and he is not of school age.
I have been stressed out and depressed for months because I can't afford to get my son and myself out of this situation. I would be so grateful for even the slightest bit of help.
I've already tried everything I possibly can to do this on my own. I don't have anybody else we can stay with. I've tried obtaining loans, but nobody will accept me. Bad credit and being on Social Assistance is an immediate "no" to them, even though I've been slowly building my credit.
Thank you for reading this far. I really appreciate it. I hope you all have a Merry Christmas and/or Happy Holidays.
