we need help (and we need hope)

[mickeym]

Hey, y'all. How is everything for everyone? I hope going better than for my household.

I'm just going to flat-out say it -- and I'm so upset that I need to -- but we need financial help. Again? Still? I don't even know, any more.

We've had a rash of missing wallets/IDs. Madisyn finally found hers, so she's applying for jobs again. But Megan and Donnie are both waiting on replacement IDs. Donnie lost the job she had. They claimed she called in excessively (they said 10 times, we could only count three, and she had Dr's notes for two of those). Matthew is finally employed, but it's construction-related, so the jobs are just starting to come in. He's been with the company for three weeks, now, but only started working this week.

Our electric bill is being covered by the local Community Action service, but that still leaves water, and the overdraft I created in my bank account because we had to have groceries -- and no matter how many cuts you make to a grocery list, it's still expensive to feed five people. And we need groceries again. We'll need rent again in ten days' time, and Matthew needs his meds, and it's an endless fucking list of things we need to pay, it seems.

If anyone can help, any amount, I would be forever grateful. We're going to use Megan's Paypal. Her email is megan.vanmeter11@gmail.com

I'm posting this here on LJ, on DW, and on FB. If you can repost or share it, I'd be grateful for that, as well.

Hi. Cereta passed this on. I used the addy you gave, but Paypal says "Megan and Mickey needs a PayPal account to get your $50.00 USD." (I didn't know a last name, and didn't think it mattered.)

Then it said, "We’ll send them an email, but it may be quicker to share this link with them." https://py.pl/1JWCJA

I hope I haven't screwed things up too bad. If you don't get the money, DM me, and I'll see what I can do from my end.

Hi, Starwatcher :)

I think maybe you got the email address wrong. When I clicked on the link it gave you, it showed it starting with 'v' and ending in '1'. I don't know whose Paypal that is, but it's definitely not Megan's. You should be able to cancel that transaction, and then send it to megan dot vanmeter11 at gmail dot com

If you have any other problems, please let me know. And thank you--so very, very much :)

[starwatcher]

Okay, thanks for the info. Looks like I didn't highlight the whole address before I hit 'copy', and didn't notice. (It was much too late at night, and I was much too sleepy to be futzing with money and websites.)

Anyway, you should have 2 payments from me; I hope it helps you through the rough spots. You're welcome.

Hi sweetie! Sent what I could. Wish it were more.

[mickeym]

Thank you, so so much <3

Just sent what I could. It'll come from my walletname, obvs. Thinking of you and yours.

Hi, Starwatcher. I don't think that link is legit. If Megan's account would say anything, it would be something about Evil Squid, bc that's her gaming tag. I think, see if you can cancel your action, then try to send it again with her email: megan.vanmeter11@gmail.com.

And thank you, so very much.

Hi hi! This reply came to me, not to starwatcher. EvilSquid365 is the name on the account I donated via, and that's the email address listed there, so hopefully that's all good?

[mickeym]

Thank you! (I don't know what happened, re: my reply. I think it's because I was trying to answer from my phone.) But yep, Evil Squid is Megan, and she's keeping track of everything for me.

Thank you so much for helping us out. I can't tell you how much it's appreciated. <3

Thank you thank you :)
