Hello there, 

My girlfriend and I were having a relatively decent day until it came time to check the mail box. To our surprise we were greeted with an eviction notice stating that we just had 14 days to either pay rent or get our shit out and take to the streets.

While we might have understood that we’ve been behind on rent, we simply weren’t expecting this to come on so suddenly. Part of the reason this is happening has to do with the fact that we’ve 

-lost our debit card and bank of america has yet to replace it leaving us unable to pay the rent in due time.

Our landlord is this sketchy flakey woman who hardly answers her phone and takes months to respond to things that are wrong with our overpriced living space. Not to mention she told us that the rent was 625 dollars when in actuality it is 725. 

The money that has accrued from paying the wrong amount of rent along with the late payment (or lack thereof) is what caused them to send us this letter.  This is causing a tremendous amount of stress.

Another issue we have is the fact that we have a slew of utility bills. Yes, we understand that this is just like anyone else, but part of the reason this has happened to us is the simple fact that nstars phone payment thing sucks. I think they WANT to shut us off. Moreover we got a letter saying that they were likely to shut us off within 72 hours of November 11th. I have my fingers crossed that this has been taken care of, but no electricity means no internet, which means no job applications. 

So that’s the financial situation, we owe over 1,000 dollars to various places. Well shit.

You might be questioning whether or not we’re doing all the right things to get ourselves out of this situation…. Right now we are:

-scrambling to sell everything we own

-job searching

-accepting commissions for art and music

-even doing web cam sex stuff….. 

If you doubt any of this we are doing everything short of selling ourselves on the streets of New bedford and its still NOT ENOUGH

the reality is that it simply wont suffice as it wont give us the money in nearly enough time.

we would call welfare or social services…. but its the weekend

Now to discuss the emotional side of this… In other words why are we living in such poverty?

-despite having been in several job interviews I have been unable to get a job. I had a fantastic interview at hot topic only to find that they “put the application on file” I was open about being trans and suspect this had a large stake in my rejection

-my girlfriend quit a stable job because she was worried about leaving me home alone. She thought something insurmountably horrible would happen if she didn’t. Turns out that bad thing that she was worried about is happening because she DID quit her job. And yes, I literally begged her not to.

-my depression is nearly crippling. i consider ending my life on a daily basis

-my girlfriend has emotionally abusive parents who are also on the poorer side of things, rendering them incapable of helping very much.

when we were more stable we chose to take another trans person in for the holidays to prevent them from being abused and triggered to the point of suicide on the holidays.

when we were stable we took in a stray cat that we love and adore.

WHY ARE WE TELLING YOU THIS?

we are in desperation. we need help. we are doing everything to avoid freezing to death.

So please consider donating, or signal boosting because most of my followers are just as broke as we are. Please help!
