Hello everyone, my name is Dakota and I don’t like asking for help, especially after being raised the way I was raised. However, I’ve run into nothing but roadblocks for the past year and a half. To start, I accidentally left my badge at home and ended up losing the best-paying job in town because I left it at home and got pointed out. Ever since then, it’s been a snowball effect of my wife also losing her job because she was having severe health problems, and she ended up losing her job too. On top of that, we lost the one good car we have, and the one I’m currently driving is not doing good at all. I’ve got a major oil leak, and the traction cuts on/off every 5 minutes. I’ve also got a really lumpy tire that could blow at any moment, and that’s been really stressful. I also have to pay $5k just for a gallbladder surgery for my wife, and she also has a lump in her chest that could be cancerous. We just haven’t had the chance to go look because of lack of money. I also haven’t been able to take my cat to the vet to get her teeth looked at or get her fixed yet, and I don’t want to get rid of her, but if I can’t afford her, I’ll have to give her to someone who can. I’ve also been living in a camper, and the guy I bought it from did not let me know that the water lines were messed up, so I don’t even have running water or a working stove, and the walls are starting to take on water. Ever since I lost that job, I haven’t been able to afford anything except for food. I’m also $2k in debt with my landlord.
I know I’m asking for a lot, and I hate to even ask. I just don’t know what to do or where to go, and I’m so lost and scared. I’m young and still don’t know everything, and it all feels like it’s too much. I lost both of my parents before I was even 15.
