So I wanted to try and avoid going this route, but my ex roommate suggested it.
And at this point, any extra option or any bit of help would be greatly appreciated. I'm humbling myself and working through anxiety and shame to even go this route and ask this. And I know I've had help in the past with a move and other, and truly appreciated such!!
I was hoping never to have to be in a position to do such again or need it! And trying to bust ass and find alternative ways to do this move.
I was hoping that current work wouldn't keep screwing me over with hrs for months, and with repeatedly asking my boss to please schedule me more then 15hrs a week and at least over 25 minimum, but would be ideal to please have 30 or more, to only get back from him he would, and to continously not do such each week, and other promised talks, raise and even promotion. To the point every week I wanted to cry/scream with the constant bs and no follow through.
And by continuously doing so, putting me further and further behind, and not able to even cover my current bills at current home in Akron, which is unfortunately no matter what, having to move out Oct 1st. I've managed to pick up some coworkers dropped shifts this past 2 weeks, but it's barely making a dent. And continue to make myself available to try to grab dropped shifts for the next 4 weeks here, and plead with my boss to give me more hrs.
I've had no success with landing other jobs I've applied or interviewed with over the months, and now it's too down to the wire to start any new ones.
And for the past couple months, been having to dip into past moving savings, and trying not to keep dipping into future moving funds, and extra what partner makes and put away.
That when I did new calculations today, of what we have put away, or what partner will have on his end towards the move by the last week of September, and what I may have leftover or what I still need to make to cover just this last months of utility bills, plus September's bills (current house, plus my personal bills, and for the cats) it's making it where there won't be coverage for what we need. And really scraping the barrel in every way, even eating ok, to just only have enough for first month and a deposit on his end. And no wiggle room or cushion outside of that.
Not including what we will need or able to afford the small Uhaul truck which I got a quote priced at $450 (and whatever gas to get to Lancaster P.A from Akron OH)
Then deposits for utilities.
Plus pet deposit (still trying to find places that don't charge an exorbitant amount for such, and going to say I only have 1 cat (I have 2, but they look alike) most places Ive looked at online are qouting $300 + 35 a month personal pet :(
Plus stupid application fees, which I'm trying to avoid those.
There is also talks of me going down the last week of September or sooner solo to stay at my kiddo's and dad's place and pet sit while they are out of town, and my partner stays with our cats, and continues to work those last weeks at his job.
But only will do that if any of the places I've been applying in Lancaster online for past 2 weeks, pan out to hire me on, and to start right away, plus go look at actual places in person or try and find places with actual personal landlords and not companies like online.
So I'd hop on Amtrack and go early, and stay with them if this is the case. And come back down with my kids dad , probably rent a car on the 30th, and get the uhaul and load the truck.
Unless my current job in Akron can start guaranteeing me real hrs for the next 4 weeks left here, this is one of the possible alternatives.
I'm also trying to sell things on Marketplace and Ebay too. And trying to figure other ways to make extra cash quick. I've even tried for online loans, but my credit is shit, and keep getting denied.
I'm at max stress and fighting severe depression and anxiety, with everything at this point. And all I want and have wanted for months, and been trying to continously bust ass, is to be moved to Lancaster P.A for the past 3 going yrs to be reunited and living in the same City as my kid, with nothing but continuous hurdles, road blocks, really for more yrs than that, and we are so close now, but so at the wire currently!
I know things are tight for many, and things are really crazy right now for many!
But any help in reaching the goal, we both will so appretiate!!!! Or sharing this link as well is also helpful too! ❤️ 💙 ❤️ 💙 💜
