Fuck (Now it’s a Fundraiser)
It started two days before Christmas. The only shower/tub we have in the house, cracked thoroughly. No repairs can fix it. We need a new tub. It cost my parents $800 dollars to put in a new tub ten years ago. I have no idea how much it would cost now.
But we all put on happy faces and had an excellent Christmas. I was super excited to dive into my books and other gifts the next day.
I woke up the day after Christmas. Our water heater is broken. And not just broken, but profusely leaking water. We had to turn if off. We have NO WATER in this house. The plumber won’t come until tomorrow, so I haven’t bathed in probably 5 days. We have drive to the little grocery two streets over to use their restroom.
I wake up today. Two days after Christmas. The car is broken. So not only do we not have water, or a shower if we had water, I CAN’T EVEN DRIVE TO MY FRIEND’S HOUSE TO BATHE.
All three of these things will require massive amounts of money. Guess who doesn’t have it? US. My mom is disabled. Dad works one minimum wage job, and I’m well on my way to disability, but not close enough to have any money.
I’m desperate enough to start a fundraiser, and I hate asking for help. But who has money right after the holiday season to donate to the disgusting poor people?
This is what it’s like to be under the poverty level. Even holidays are ruined by bad luck and your perpetual broke ass. And I’m sure people will tell me to get a job anyway, sell my stuff, do x, y, z, like it’s just that easy. But it’s not. It’s not that easy. And it may all work out, but it might not and we may be in debt for the rest of our fucking lives. Who knows?
When you’re poor, you don’t get peace of mind.
We are in desperate need of money ASAP, so if you can spare anything, it would be amazing.
If each of my followers donated a dollar… I would have more dollars than I actually need. I have 18,000 followers, and the fundraiser is set for $900 so if you can donate even a dollar, please, please help.
