Urgent Help Needed, Unprecedented Situation

mitsurugireiji

The short story is that our storage company got bought out in Nov/Dec by another storage company that charges:

- £30 extra a month
- in a different manner (lump sum at the beginning of the month, not smaller amounts weekly)
- extra £15 for insurance since they took insurance out of the original price

we put in our two weeks notice to move to a different company, but since the bank took all of december (due to the holiday rush) to send us our statements, we were down a form of ID that meant we couldn’t properly cancel the unit and move to the new one which means i have to pay for two storage units for a month and the moving van all at once (i was only supposed to hold the other unit for a month, not two, certainly not three).

as you can imagine, this buyout/need to move units due to it/delay in moving units due to bank & postal issues was not budgeted for and while i can just about cover one unit at £300 for one month and a move about £180 by the skin of my teeth, i cannot in any way shape or form cover a second unit at £375, let alone both for the two or three months it may or may not take before my mother and i finally finally get our inheritance and become fully financially independent of this family.

this is on top of a lot of other little things that are piling up lately, like the fact that we’re still being kept in this house as paperwork stalls due to possible ID (ours) theft and i still haven’t been given back the £2000 i spent a year scrimping and saving for just this sort of situation but that i was manipulated into spending on the house with the promimse of getting it back almomst immediately seven months ago.

our money is running out, essentially. we were promised we’d be out in august last year, but we’ve been kept here the entire time instead due to a litany of mistakes and lies and the money i’ve managed to save is being frittered away every month on bills i shouldn’t be paying since we shouldn’t be here.

this issue is finally something i literally cannot work my way through or around because i just don’t have the money to cover this latest fuck up and i don’t have the time or energy to physically do my usual work because i literally just got done with another several hospital and GP trips due to stress giving me another chronic condition i just have to live my life with now + it took over a month to find a medication that didn’t give me side effects i couldn’t live with.

i have a Ko-Fi for my personal writing blog, if you want to either tip me for that or request a reader-drabble.

i also have a paypal if you’d rather that.

please share, i’m at my wits end here.

update for jan 16th: short notice moving all our stuff from one unit to the other for three hours was £210, the first month of storage i had to pay upfront was £230, and i also finally have to bite the bullet and replace my expired passport soon for about £230 all-in (£175 fast track because i don’t know if we’re moving in the 6 weeks a cheaper one would cost or not, £30 for countersigning, £25 for birth cert copy, £5 for photos) because under delightfully annoying laws i need to prove im a british citizen living with my own mother when we move which requires a valid passport/i need to sign the sale of house contact apparently

there’s a reason i’ve been choosing to save that money and use it on whatever new crisis arrives as opposed to getting it immediately, but i really have no choice anymore unless i want to be homeless.

oh! and i’ve still not been paid back all that fucking money i saved.

any help, donating or sharing this post, is truly appreciated.

for other people who are being affected hard by the new, terrible color palette staff thought would be “more accessible”, i highly recommend downloading a chrome extension called dark reader. it can either have a “dark” mode which will invert and change colors, or a “light” mode where you can leave the colors the same but put down the contrast.

these are my settings:

this is what it looked like originally

this is what it looks like now, with light mode on and -30 contrast

so, yeah! feel free to spread this, ive had this extension for a while and im glad it finally came in handy bc staff is fuckin Stupit

Indonesia Needs Us

daily-volcanology

2018 has not been geologically kind to Indonesia.

An underwater landslide caused by the eruption of Anak Krakatau spawned a tsunami that as of today (Dec. 24) has killed 373 people. This already on top of other earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, and the Sulawesi Tsunami. Millions have been displaced, thousands dead, and many more still missing. As Anak Krakatau is an actively erupting volcano, it could still generate more waves, hampering rescue efforts and displacing more people.

Many of those affected were owners of tourist driven industries, and will now be unable to earn money this holiday season as their property and businesses have been destroyed. People have their only source of income, their beloved family, and friends..

Please consider donating to these charities to directly help the people of Indonesia. Every cent counts. You will help save lives.

Hey, the people in my country have been devastated. Please spread the word! And it’d be nice if people also donated to human aids for Palu! They’re still suffering from lack of electricity and clean water!

Help Me Move, Part Two

Hey y’all, so…as I mentioned some time ago, I needed to move closer to school, because I live too far away and the stress is gonna destroy me.

Well, the stress is currently destroying me. Of my original two roommates, one of them decided to tell us two or so weeks before school started that he decided not to move with us, and we’ve been scrambling and trying to recover ever since. I found out too late to get a monthly pass for the train, so after a week of staying in an airbnb with my roommate, I had to buy weekly passes and that, coupled with not being able to grocery shop on Sundays because of my work study, and the fact that the amount I’m spending to park every week, the money I saved, thanks to y’all, is nearly depleted.

This has been such a stressful, exhausting ordeal; we’ve been bouncing around, trying to be calm and take care of everything, but we’re nearly at the end of our tethers. My best friend is moving in with us, so we can afford a 3 bedroom and my other roommate’s grandmother is being a garantuor for us, and we have two apartments we’re probably gonna get approved for, but if I don’t come up with my portion of our security and rent, we won’t be able to take them.

So I am here, again, asking you guys to please help me. I need $800. I would be eternally grateful. I can do writing commisions, editing and tutoring. Please help me out.

PAYPAL POOL HERE

Everything I’ve ever heard my friends say about apartment hunting in NYC has impressed on me that you have to move fast! An apartment you were sure was yours can be gone in an instant if someone else comes up with the money first. So this is incredibly urgent. Please signal boost if you can’t contribute. Toni is an amazing person and I would hate to see a few hundred dollars come between her and being able to complete her acting training.
