So, as it says in my "About Me" section, I am asking for money. I know that there are a lot of people on the internet asking for money, and their situations are a lot worse than mine. I know, I've read some of them. They really make me wish I had an extra buck to rub together that I could give to them to help them out. But right now, I do not have many bucks for myself.
I am on a medical leave of absence from work. I work as an administrative-type person, and I do make good money. But, the problem is, after deductions come off the cheque, I make a lot less. And my monthly bills add up to just a little bit less than I make. We're talking a difference of maybe $100 per month. I was doing okay with this for the last few years. Then in January, my father died. I was already on a bit of a roller-coaster and this sent me for even more of a loop. Essentially, I could no longer go to work and my doctor and I requested a leave of absence while I worked on making myself better. This was in February, and my EI illness payments have run out. Currently I'm waiting to see if I qualify for Long Term Disability benefits. If this goes through, I can continue to pay the minimum on my debts. But my paycheque will still be less than I need it to be to become debt free. If this doesn't go through, I don't know what I'll do to make ends meet.
SO! This is why I'm asking for money. I am currently over $22K in debt from student & car loans and credit cards. I would be SO happy if I could also save $12K for my wedding next June but that is looking unlikely. We figure we will be able to save around $2500 until then, so with that & the $1000 we do have saved, we would still need around $8500 between now and next June to reach my goal. :(
So, that's a total of $32,097.03 (to be absolutely exact) that I am asking for. It's simple! It's math! All I need is for 30,000 people to give me $1, 15,000 people to give me $2, 6000 to give me $5, 3000 to give me $10, etc, etc...a little bit adds up so that's why I'm sending my plea to the masses! Please donate and send your good vibes into the universe to come back to you! Don't forget, you can order through me what you would have already ordered on Amazon.com, or donate through PayPal!
