Long story short, out of all the other things we've been struggling with, we just found out out utility bill hasn't been auto-drafting like it was supposed to and we are behind by 4 months.

We got help from our church but we still owe $400. We've practically burned through our savings while I've been trying to find a job and this sort of snuck up on us and it's a pretty big punch in the gut.

I really hate to ask since others have it worse off than us but anything will help. The goal is $400 but anything really will help. I'll probably take this post down in a few days because I don't wanna take away from our comrades that don't even have a roof over their heads.

My Venmo and Paypal is @rouxination.

My CashApp is $rouxination.

Thanks and love y'all.

E: thanks to those that chipped in. I'm gonna check back in the am and update again. My partner and I are working on budget stuff now so I am gonna take a break from thinking about money. I appreciate the help.

Don't apologize, having your utilities cut off in the middle of the winter isn't that far off from not having a roof over your head

I'd see if you can do an incremental payment option, I know in my city they give you that option.

[–] roux@hexbear.net 3 points 2 months ago

I can look into it when we get the auto-draft thing fixed. I think calling them is on my list of things to do this week.
