I have a personal issue and was told to post it here. So, here we go.

I'm having a really difficult time at the present. I'm behind on my November rent and if I don't come up with $1500 by the 14th I'm going to be homeless. I lost my job in the spring and have been scrapping it out ever since. I've been working as a carpenter for an elderly couple lately that really needed work on their home. I have work coming up that will probably take me through Dec. but, I have to get through Nov. first. Here's the link for anyone that wants me to get over the hump. gf.me/u/wkdv96
I know I don't comment here a lot but, I've been a loyal member for many years and I will for many years to come. I'm over halfway to my goal but, just need a little more of a boost so I can get even. I'm a good man and anyone that wants to question me is welcome to do so. Thanx in advance and I appreciate anything you can contribute.
Just so everyone knows, Donald Trump is a disgusting human being.
Here's the link again, gf.me/u/wkdv96. I'm just over halfway there and anyone that goes there will see that. I'm sorry. Reality caught up with me with a vengeance.
I'm embarrassed. I just need a little help. Thanx in advance. gf.me/u/wkdv96

because I don't know how to reply to anyone and everyone that might or may help. I'm just not that experienced at this sort of thing. Navigating this site can be daunting at times. No offense intended. It's just so expansive, I guess.

Spent half my life in Louisiana married to the evil, wicked, high priestess of misery from which I barely escaped. She cheated on me with my (former) best friend who put drugs in my beer to knock me out (verified by him and I still have the thread on Facebook of him admitting to doing so) so they could have their fun in the next room. Picture that in your life. That's about as fucked up as you can get. Anyway, I'm still a good man that put my son through college and didn't do anything extreme in retaliation. I maintained my integrity and salvaged my dignity. I didn't deserve that in this one life.

Really, I do. When I was sixteen I read an article in the local newspaper, The Mt. Sterling Advocate, announcing the 60th anniversary of whoever they were. I thought that was so cool. It didn't work out for me to get there. I tried.
I sincerely hope you do. The thing is, what sixteen year old male respects that kind of stuff? Once again, I tried.

I don't comment much here but, I read most of the articles posted. This has to be quite possibly the greatest humanity based website in existence. I can't put it any better than that.

But I'm not in a position to help.
I'll send some good vibes your way too.

And keep your chin up. It takes courage to ask for help.
Be proud of yourself.

This is why DU has been my online home since 2002. We have squabbles and disagreements, but you won't find a finer bunch of people on the planet.

I was lucky to get on Washington State medical immediately. Next week I can send a tiny bit, not a lot but at least it is something. I hope things get better for you. I totally understand and glad you feel comfortable enough to be here. I ordinarily wouldn't do this on the internet, but I believe the people on this site are sincere and hold the same values I do. (I will add that I do charitable work regularly, but when I am at my worst financially, broke or out of work, or my saddest, is when I try the hardest to help others. It always seems to work out for me.) Have faith! Be well!

But every little bit helps with the holidays coming up and you could use a cushion after December. Wishing you all the best!
