hello! my name is jolt, and i’m trying to move out to go live with my partner after years of struggling to live on my own and holding multiple jobs.

i am… not in a great spot right now. for the past two years i’ve only been able to keep my home thanks to some generous friends and my partner, because no matter what i do or how many jobs i take, shit just keeps happening with my health and with my car and just… everything. at one point this year i was working three jobs, around 85 hours a week, and i STILL wasn’t able to have a savings account because several things went wrong with my car, resulting in thousands of dollars in repairs needed. i’ve been planning to live with my partner for a little while now and was planning to save up to help with new place expenses, but now, it’s essentially become a rescue operation on his part. i’ve failed, and i need help.

i have four months until my apartment lease is up and i’ll be able to move there. i’m in collections for about $2000 of medical debt and around $17,000 in total credit card/loan debt, so my credit score is completely and utterly fucked, and my current doctor is threatening to cut off access to my blood pressure medication if i don’t pay my outstanding medical debt. i’m opening my paypal and my ko-fi for donations to help clear the medical debt i’m in collections for, and if there’s any left over it’s going to be used to help pay for a mover to get me to the new state that i’m moving to.

literally even a dollar will help. there’s a light at the end of this tunnel, and i’d appreciate any help i can get in ensuring that my emergence from this hole isn’t a complete disaster just like the past couple of years have been.
