tl ; dr:
I’m literally down to my last five dollars in my bank account and am in desperate need of help this month.
I’ve hit up food banks/pantries to get food where and when I can and I’m not able to get food stamps until I get work study from school (which I can’t get until old loan mess is cleared up and that’s been a messy process), which means I have no source of income – inbetween jobs, no financial aid at school, no government assistance yet. I live with my emotionally abusive sister who isn’t working either and not helping me out very much – whether she helps or not, she guilts me for even asking. I have about fifteen job applications out there, but have yet to hear back from anywhere yet.
I’ve got bills that need covered, possibly a new laptop, a dog to take care of, and general life expenses (even though the dog comes before most of that stuff).
As a mentally ill black woman trying to support herself through school/life, things are rough right now, and swallowing pride is hard.

I’ll add the links to my blog as well for anyone willing to help.
THANK YOU.
