Hey, Aaron. I sent you a week's worth of dog food 🙂 and a bit more.

I wish I could send more but I am sending out huge amounts these days, mostly to desperate people in Gaza.

Very best wishes.

I took some out of our food money for my medications. We are down to $15.67 for dinner tonight, and we have bills coming up, one of them urgent. Even if I ace the upcoming interviews, there's no way I can manage this in the meantime, so I could really use your help. Please unboost/reboost the original post. Thank you!

Medication: $94/94 (monthly expense, already paid out of food money)

Water bill: $174/174 (due 1/10)

Phone bill: $0/$625.78 (cut off date is 1/11, will have no internet w/o it and therefore unable to job hunt)

Electric: $195/$195 (urgent, cutoff 1/5)

I really need your help, folks. We have that massive overdue amount on our phone bill, and a water bill due soon, too. I won't be able to job hunt or even come on here to ask for help if I don't get the phone paid by the 11th. I'm getting panicky about it at this point. I want to be able to support myself, but for that to happen, I need to be able to attend the remote interviews and get phone calls.

Please please unboost and reboost the original post above to get it in front of as many eyes as possible!

Our phone and internet will be cut off in 2 days (1/11). We still need $626 to pay that. (It's multiple months.) Without it, I won't be able to job hunt or ask for help feeding my children. This is terrifying.

Please boost this post, and the one it's in reply to. You can unboost the original post, and then it will let you boost again.

Apparently my wifi hot spot is *not* the solution I'd hoped it would be, for not having to pay for internet. I have run out of usage and it has throttled back so hard that I can't even get to the internet speed test page. I was able to load the Google landing page after some time, at least.

This means that I can't apply for jobs, much less attend any sort of interview that requires a live coding session to prove my skills, until my hot spot usage renews. But I'm two months behind on my internet payments, so I owe $131.90 to get it turned back on.

I don't want to ask for this because it's not necessary to survive and I already am completely dependent on the community. At the same time, this is my ticket to being able to support myself instead of asking for handouts. So here I am. Can anybody help me out with this?

We are *almost* prepared for the ice storm that might have us locked in for a week. We still need dog food (~$25), cat food (~$22), my metformin (~$13, assuming I can even get it refilled in time), and a few odds and ends that we weren't able to get on our first grocery run (~$25).

So around $85 should cover everything that we need to prep. We have almost $30 of that right now, so we need ~$60 to make sure we can cover everything without cutting it down to the last cent.

I could use another boost, please. We only have a few hours before we are out of time.
