NEED TO MOVE ASAP
Hello, I’m currently living in Phoenix, Arizona. I moved here from Seattle hoping to escape the egregious cost of living in WA, but sadly, I’ve found no reprieve here. I used to run my own business, but there’s no market for it here, and my current full-time job is unsustainable. I have a dear friend in Utah who is willing to help me try again, but I have no money to get there.
My fundraiser is here, please consider giving me a hand. I am employed full time with a delivery company at the moment, but I can’t keep this up here. My car is over ten years old, and this job demands I put 100+ miles on it every day I work; it’s going to fall apart before long. More than that, Phoenix weather is about to get very hot, and my car has no air conditioning. I can’t afford to get it installed or get a newer car; this job will be unbearable within a month. My bank account hovers around zero, about 80% of my income going to rent, and the rest going to keeping myself and my cats fed. The apartment I’m renting is a tiny mother-in-law unit, attached to a larger house, but I was given misinformation as to the state of the place when I rented it. It’s incredibly small–less than 350 square feet–my loft bed, and consequently my body, is directly under the ceiling fan, no matter what corner I put it in; somehow I have managed to not get my feet chopped off so far. There are no smoke detectors, no appliances, and there’s no internet connectivity–I’m having to use the ghost of a free floating network from somewhere nearby when I’m at home because I am literally unable to hook anything up in the unit, and it makes job hunting and searching for helpful resources an arduous, slow process at the very best. The air conditioning unit is an ancient wall adaptor that barely gets cold at all. The plumbing doesn’t work properly, the doors don’t seal well so bugs get in all the time, and I can’t even get my mail reliably, because the landlady never tells me when she has any of it. This place isn’t fit for living, let alone in a brutally hot desert location. I thought leaving Washington’s expensive price tag behind would help me get to where I want to be with my life, but I’m finding that Arizona isn’t that place. I have yet to find a sustainable job despite months of searching, my living arrangements are unsafe and unsanitary, and I haven’t got the funds to get out of any of this. All I want is to find a place where I can afford to live peacefully with my cats without being stressed out 24/7. I believe I can find that in Utah, with an old friend whose family has always been kind and supportive. All I need is a little help getting to them. I am trying to rent a truck so I can tow my car and get my cats and belongings to Utah, but another out of state move is beyond my capabilities right now. Please, I’ve been trying to find a place to just be for so long, and I’m so tired of this life of stress and scrounging, anything you can spare to help me get to a better place is a huge help to me.
Even if you can’t donate, please reblog so maybe someone can. I need to get out of here, but I’m not going to be able to do it on my own.
please guys, i really need a hand here. if i stay, my bank account is just going to continue to be negative. i literally don’t make enough money at my full time job to get my account positive and also pay rent, that’s why it’s negative in the first place. any help you can spare will make a huge difference to me, please share. if i don’t get out of here i’ll eventually be unable to overdraw my account any further and wind up homeless.
