I feel like I’m going to need to ask tumblr for donations again and I really

threejane:

I don’t want to. I feel horrible

but we can’t afford groceries??? laugh

I’m serious this is some victorian era shit we have three small bags of crisps, two of which my mum’s friend bought her at work over two days, one carton of apple juice, one loaf of bread, a few potatoes and one chunk of cheddar cheese. we might have some eggs? but actually i didn’t see any in the fridge when i went to get a drink so perhaps not

and that’s got to last us nine days until my mum gets paid

and her pay won’t cover her overdraft (we don’t have any actual money right now, our debt is finally just completely on top of us we are just using overdraft, i’m at the limit of mine on both of my accounts, trying to get it extended, mum is getting charged for using her reserve)

and then we have to pay two weeks worth of rent which couldn’t be paid before

and just WAUGH

backstory is: a couple years ago my dad left without warning, ran off with my mum’s cousin, cleared out our accounts and left us with the debt that he accumulated when he refused to work anymore but insisted on spending like a rich man. now he’s living in relative luxury with my mum’s cousin who has a very good job. his leaving happened to coincide with the economy going to hell and due to petrol prices and electricity prices and everything prices and massive debt we just have not been able to get back on our feet. every time we think we have, something comes along and takes a chunk out of our bank accounts. we are trying really, really hard.

it’ll … hopefully get better after next week because mum is starting her second job, i am settling fully into mine and hopefully at some point i can talk them into giving me a full week (right now they’re only giving me one day a week which pays £70 a month, which is fucking nothing)

and if my financial support application with the university goes through that’ll help a lot but it’s going to take three weeks

mum won’t get paid for her second job for another month after she starts it

i feel gross for sharing financial information with you guys but i’m just at this state of DESPERATION??? 

WHEN I GOT MY JOB I WAS LIKE ‘YAY MY LIFE IS FIXED’

and now i’m massively in debt with overdraft because of how long i’ve been having to pay for our groceries, petrol and rent with my zero ingoing funds

and i’m just

we can’t afford groceries. 

we’re just about managing to pay for electricity so we can shower and stuff, but i don’t know how long that will last because sooner or later my mum’s card will start getting declined along with my two

we’re just kind of praying that it lasts us until my mum gets paid and is at least only half into her overdraft rather than over the limit

so i don’t …

i can’t type up a huge formal request right now i am too fucking drained, this is just me being completely, brutally honest:

please help? if you can spare like 5£ then we can at least buy some food for the next week. if two of you can spare 5£ then that’s electricity as well. if more than two of you can spare 5£ we’re looking at putting money toward petrol, fuel for the fire. 

just keeping us afloat, really

i know the new year is tough for everyone but if you could possibly just give us a helping hand i swear i will try to repay you somehow. i can’t draw, but i can write, if you have any requests. i can try to pay you back in future, when i get paid; i’d be happy to.

paypal is eahopson@googlemail.com

once again i am sorry to have to ask. but i do have to ask. cause this is really bad.

(less than 5£ is also truly welcome honestly 10p is welcome anything at all would help.

it’s also fine if you can’t help at all. just putting this out there as a last ditch effort. i’ve tried everything else.)
