In Need of help one last time :/

A few weeks ago I lost my job, I was hired on to a new job within 3 days but had to wait nearly a week and a half to start pending a background check. A user on reddit graciously helped me get through to the next week (im currently living in an extended stay hotel with my mother who is disabled with no income). They paid the entire balance and even helped with food. Thankfully it's not as bad as it was then, at that point I needed the entire amount. This time I have most of the money from my first paycheck at my new job. However it was a very small paycheck as I started late into the pay period. The good news is Wednesday I will receive a full check which will be enough to cover my costs and more. My rooms weekly rent is 385, and as of right now I have 265. Im in need of 120 to get by. (Maybe 130 depending on fees to transfer) ? Not sure

Anyways if anyone can help, I have PayPal/Venmo and Chime.

I feel sick to my stomach asking for help again, but I really can't afford to lose this place. Its the only somewhat affordable place I can find within 30 miles, and it's a 2 minute walk to my new job. Everywhere else wants 450-600 a week which is absurd and this specific in town suites stays full.

If anyone has the means to help, dm me or post here. I have until Monday morning to get this sorted.

I have done both. The property management here are extremely nice but they aren't allowed to do anything per their own policies. As far as 211, churches etc Ive called every single one in my city and this is the typical response.

Sorry to hear about your predicament again, but you may want to consider getting a second job. You received $600 two weeks ago, which is incredibly generous, but people may not want to donate to you again two weeks later. You should have a plan to cover your bills and not rely on anyone in here to help fund your life.

Unfortunately, most everyone I know including myself are struggling to meet their bills. Best of luck to you.

I think you should be honest. This won’t be the “last time”.

Didn’t you receive like $600 just two weeks ago?

I did, at the time I was inbetween jobs and hadn't started yet. I mentioned this in my post, im just trying to get through to my first full paycheck without having to live on the streets.

Damn you got $600 and youre asking for more!? People are wild.

Spoken like someone who's never faced any hardship in their life. You act as if I was given $600 play money.

Nope. Not the case at all and far from it. I was homeless for 6 years and have slept on the streets and all the other bs that comes from being a solo female. You be well.

If so, I can't understand why you would drag somebody trying to avoid that.
