Hello to everyone reading this. Although my GoFundMe is anonymous because I’m embarrassed that someone I know might see it, I want to share who I am with you guys. My name is Emily. I am 25 years old, and I live in California, more specifically, in San Bernardino County.
I currently live in the back house of my grandparents’ home. However, due to ongoing family conflict in the main house, my grandparents have decided to sell the property and retire in Mexico. I didn’t even hear this directly from them, I found out through my uncles and cousins. This morning, someone came to tour my home because they’re interested in buying it.
Right now, I am about $8,000 in debt. I’m behind on bills but my check is around $600 this week so I’m going to be paying what is priority. I had to take out a loan just to pay last month’s rent, along with last months bills, A few months ago, my car battery died, and I had to rely on borrowing money from family which added on around $700 more . On top of that, I owe $3,400 on a Best Buy credit card, which I’ve been paying $100 a month toward. I only have $5 in my account
I know there are people going through worse situations, but all I’m asking for is a chance to start over—or at least to stay afloat for the month while I try and save up money for next months bills and not feel like I’m drowning. I won’t lie—I’m scared. I left a toxic household and was doing well for a while, but recently it feels like I’ve hit rock bottom.
If you’re not able to donate, that’s completely okay. No one is obligated to. I simply ask that you keep me in your prayers. I was blessed to receive a job offer to start working a warehouse job but with nothing saved and back payments owed I truly don’t know where I’m going to live next.
I understand that some people may not care about my story, or may not even believe me and that’s okay. All I ask is that you keep me in your prayers. I’ve done the best I could with what I had.
My GoFundMe has more details, so I’ll leave it at that. I hope you all have a good day, and please remember to count your blessings. As of right now, I still have a roof over my head and clothes on my back, and for that, I am grateful.
