Update: The photos are saved! I'll be at the storage place first thing in the morning to pay them off. Rent is getting there and I am sure things will be fine there, too. Some money I will be paying back, some paying forward and will be happy doing either or both.
I really don't have enough words to express my thankfulness and appreciation for everyone's help. Every kind word, every piece of advice, and every offer of help has been like a soothing balm. Thank you so very much to you all. If anyone ever needs help with anything, call on me and I'll do everything I can.
------------------ Original post below
I've been off and on here over the years, loving the place one day, hating it the next -- but, anyway. I've not been here practically at all lately because I've been busy trying to pull the pieces of my life together. But I keep dropping stitches.
I've been making it, kinda. Snatching money out of Peter's hand to run over and pay Paul, then trotting over to Annie to collect my earnings, and running back to Peter and slapping that into his hand, hopefully before he notices it was ever gone. And in between, running here and there picking up work, delivering and waiting. And waiting.
It usually works out okay, only this time both Paul and Peter are scowling at me, empty-handed, and Annie is nowhere in sight.
Or, in plainer language, I am in a bit of a mess. I don't, ever, ask for help because... well, I just don't. I'm a very private person, holding things close to my chest, just by nature.
But tomorrow at 11 AM CA time the storage place is going to auction off all my stuff. Tomorrow is also the last day my landlady (who is very nice and understanding, but has bills of her own) has given me to pay remainder or, well... say goodbye.
I'm at my wit's end, so I am throwing myself on the mercy of the kosfolk, as a last resort. I need about $500 to add to what I already have and cover everything, but at minimum $100 will do. That will do nothing for the rent, but all the old family photos, reaching back generations, my mom gathered over the past 60 years and other important things are in the storage. Well and all my furniture and stuff, but that's not the important part.
I can always go stay on someone's couch (maybe mine, in the storage unit, lol) for a little while, but I can never replace those photos.
Anyway, if you can help, my paypal address is ++++++. If you send from your paypal account, (or include some other way to send it to you) I will pay it back as soon as I can (which may not be too soon, realize.)
Thank you if you can help. I fully understand if you can't or don't want to, or can just send good thoughts. Thanks, I'll take those, too!
ETA: Information on how to send through PayPal.
