I don't know how to begin..this is the first time I've actually looked to someone for help. I work part time as a self defense assistant, I was a full time Office Manager for a computer repair company before the owner decided to shut down so he can travel. Now I'm barely making it with my utilitiy bills and rent. I make enough to cover my car payment and my car insurance and everything but lately since I had to move due to the housing market plunging the house I was renting was facing a foreclosure so I had to spend more money than I wanted. I'm barely making it right now and I'm getting really stressed - I had to pay my car payment and insurance since I obviously need to get to work. I owe $265 for my water bill and $ 250 for my electricity (got a little behind there) and rent is due soon. I have never been in this position before and I've always been the one helping people and now I need help. this is very humbling. If anyone who can help I'd appreciate it. I don't have anything of value or else it'd be sold by now. All I have is my dogs and my car. I don't know what else to do..I can't even ask my parents because they raised me to be a proud person and I know they would not help me. Harsh reality yes I know but what am I to do? I pray to God for help and guidance and I swear that I will continue to help others in need now i know how it feels even though I didnt know before but I still tried to help. I'd be forever grateful.
