badbastion | Need to move

My boyfriend and I are in a really rough living situation, and we're trying to get out of it. We want to move back to my hometown across the state from where we live now, so that I can be around my family and better mental health care and social resources. I'm planning to drive there next week to look at apartments/fill out/turn in applications. However, the gas money is going to make my grocery budget pretty much nil. I'm disabled and on a low fixed income, so we barely get by as it is.

Family's going to try to help with some of the moving costs, but they're at poverty level and won't be able to help much. I don't really even want to think about how we'll be able to afford this.

I hate asking for help, but I don't know what else to do right now. Please help.

If you could spare any money to help me out, please send it to me through paypal with the email duckducknoose@gmail.com.

If you'd rather, you can send a WalMart ecard that I can use for groceries. You can do that online here, and you can use the same email address as above.

Any amount would make a difference. I wish I could do something to give back, but right now I can't. I promise that I'd be incredibly grateful if you could help, and that it would all go to a good cause, and that I'd find a way to pay it forward when I'm in a position to do so.

If you don't have the extra money, any kind of positive energy or internet hugs you could send me way would also be appreciated.

Thanks for reading <3

Done. I hope it helps some.

I've also got something else for you too. How do you eat an elephant?
One bite at a time.

I've been through a rough patch of a different sort, but it was just so overwhelming looking at this patch in the long run. I worried and stressed so much. Then someone told me this joke and I took it to heart. I learned to take one day at a time. I told myself to just get through today, tomorrow will be a new day. Then just get through that day and so on. And before I knew it, it was all over, I got through it. This advice pretty much helped me get through it in more manageable pieces and I'd like to pass it on to you. Gosh, I hope that made sense.

Anyways, I hope things start turning around for the better for you and your family. XOXO

I got it, thank you so much! <3

Thanks for the joke, too. I'll try to remember that; things can get so overwhelming at times like these, and it helps to just do a little at a time, instead of getting stuck on the big picture and panicking. Like right now, I'm going to go and get rid of some stuff in a few boxes so I have less I have to pack :)

*hugs*
