I have in the last few weeks been called a bum cause I have been laid off from my job.Also I have been called an embarrassment to a close family members friends for asking for help. Another close family member told me I should not be a taker like Satan, but I don't know what else to do but to ask my family and friends for help. There was a time that when a friend or family member was down on their luck people came out of the woodwork to offer help, but now a days you just have to bury your pride in a small box in the yard and ASK. You know I worked since I was 15 years old, I got hurt in October 2007 and have yet to fully recover, I did manage to get back to work for 8 months however, and then got laid off because of the economy. So I am going to ask for help, in whatever amount you can help, and if people wanna make me feel like a bum for doing so, so be it, that is the price I will have to pay to try and get through this very difficult time in my life!
I have looked everywhere I can for work, but it is impossible right now to even get a fast food job. My lights were off for 2 days this past week and only cause a family member loaned me the money for a few days was I able to get it cut back on. I have asked for help from the Salvation Army and United Way and both are out of funds! My vehicle is on the verge of being reposed. My property is on the verge of being auctioned for $200 in back taxes. I have totally defaulted on my credit cards and can't even buy food for the house. My house and cell phone is off due to non payment and that is very bad cause all my applications and resumes for work have those numbers listed. So it affects my getting employment. Hell, I can't even afford gas most days to go out and look for work. I feel helpless, scared, alone and depressed to the point of not being able to breathe. Please help in whatever amount you can, $1, $5, $10, etc.... I will pay it forward I promise that! You can help with my paypal account which is rikkiandrussell@gmail.com AND GOD BLESS YOU
