Update

Hey guys,

Firstly, thank you all for being so awesome to me these last like 6 months. You have seriously been the best people and are always so encouraging and helpful and try to make me and everyone else feel better about whatever crappy situation has us bummed out.

Thank you to all who have donated money, shared my link to spread awareness, and/or offered encouragement. You guys are awesome, and I can’t thank you enough. I would hug you all if I could. You have restored my faith in humanity and proven that people can help one another in times of need. Amazing. Seriously gonna cry here. Good tears though. Good tears.

Also, a special thank you to a few who took the time to reach out to me personally 2 days ago. I asked for advice and you guys went above and beyond and I can’t thank you enough. You guys are seriously Angels, and you’ve made me cry so much, tears of joy. You know who you are, and if you ever need anything, I’m here for you. That goes for everyone else on here, too. I’m here for all of you. You guys are like my family, and I just wish we could all be healthy and happy. That’s my wish for all of us.

This has been a really hard time for me. I’m definitely a proud person, so telling “the world” that I need help and that I don’t “got this” has been one of the most difficult things I’ve ever had to admit. I was very apprehensive to ask for help, in any way, even before I started the fundraiser page. You all have been so supportive and encouraging, it’s been truly amazing. I keep saying this, but it’s so true. You guys are the best!

Ok, now into the actual update.

I’m out of my old place that I got asked to leave on Friday. I’m staying with my brothers ex-girlfriend (for simplicity sake I’ll call her Amanda). She’s a bit crazy and gets anxiety sometimes about things, especially when people are sharing her living space. But I think she’s more anxiety-riddled about my 2 cats being in her living space. She is not a cat person and has 2 awesome yellow labs that have lived with my elder cat, but not my little boy. My boy hasn’t really had any experience with dogs. And I kinda think Amanda hasn’t really had any real interaction with cats, so she may under the assumption that they’re gonna destroy everything and cough up furballs all over the place and pee everywhere. Hahaha.

Hopefully after a few days she’ll get more mellow about it and realize that for the most part, they just chillax all the time.

Thanks to the kindness of a few people who personally sent me money through paypal, I’m gonna be able to eat this week, and I’ll have enough money to get into a new rented room as early as Thursday, if I can find one. Having cats proves to be a bit of an issue with trying to find a room to rent, but I ain’t gonna give up, haha.

So that’s basically it for now. Out of that jerks house, into Amanda’s house with my furbabies. Trying to figure stuff out and constantly being overwhelmed by the generosity and kindness of strangers and “strangers” (the latter being the people on here I’ve had interaction with but obviously haven’t actually met). I have a posting on CL about needing a room to rent, and also my one coworker and I are looking into getting a place together hopefully by the end of the month. Would be pretty nice. And on top of that I’m still applying for jobs trying to land a second job so that I can get my head above water more securely.

Anyhow, I’m exhausted. It’s been a long and trying day and I have to get up about 5am to sort through all my stuff and find everything that I need for work in the morning, plus shower and find something for breakfast. Things, for now, are starting to look up. I hope that this trend can continue and that I’ll finally be out of the woods.

Thank you all, again, soooo much for supporting me in every way possible! And please don’t feel bad if you can’t donate that much or even if you can’t donate anything, kindness and/or encouragement are just as important and mean just as much to me. Just knowing that a bunch of you care about me and pray for me, send good juju, and wish me happiness and success in this life, means the world to me. You guys are truly amazing and I’m starting to cry again… haha. Seriously, you guys have touched my heart so deeply, I can never repay you, but I’ll do my best to make you guys proud and help you and others as much as I can, in any way that I can.

I love you all, and thank you so much!
