Hi sorry Ive never posted in here before. Idk if i need to fully explain my situation but I’m going to. Disability services is supposed to cook with me every week, but they;re down to two staff to serve the entire region so for a few weeks I was without staff to cook with me. SO I had to order out almost every day so I wasnt just cooking myself fucking pasta every night (which is also hard to do because of ND stuff because i have to transition to do that, ordering out is more accessible that way). My original plan for the month was to skip rent (which is 45% or so of my income, coming out to a little over 250 dollars) because you can SORTA get away with doing that since you pay directly to disability services and im actually already behind a few months. And there was no way i was going to be able to order out as much as I had to if I had to pay half of my income (well its a bit less than half because disability hasnt checked my income since i moved in so they dont know that ss has raised it a few times lol).

I didnt even totally realize this comm existed until a little bit ago and felt kinda uncomfortable asking comrades for money even when I did find out. But I was encouraged by a friend on here to use this if I need it and like, i think it might be a better strategy to ask for help on here rather than fall further behind on rent and possibly get in trouble especially since theres been talk of moving me to a group home which i really dont want. I have a staff that is like SPECIFICALLY for paying bills rn and he’s a bit strict and was a bit eyebrow raise when I told him I was skipping rent and like when he came back next week tried to say we need to pay rent again lol. And im scared theres something being unspoken.

(I also possibly have to replace my headset soon because its starting to get finicky but ill wait till im sure i have to to ask for help withj that because boy thats another thing i don’t think ill be able to afford).

edit: apparently i need to say dm for cashapp/paypal ect instead so i am editing out my cashapp name lol. so dm me for that!

tl;dr i need 250 for rent lol
