I am a 25 year old college student studying Comics and Sequential Arts, and I have been in a tough financial position for a few years. I don’t have any family or friends or a physical support system, and I am carrying a lot of burdens (and have been) for some time. I’ve always been a full time worker and full time student, and I’ve been having trouble with paying for my rent, bills, and necessities. I am unable to find another job due to conflicting schedules with work and school and jobs have been difficult to find. I’ve been working, selling art, selling my personal items and pushing myself so much that my physical and mental health has been neglected. And now I’m facing health related issues that I can’t fully pay attention to because I’m so busy trying to make ends meet. I’ve tried different resources at school, but I was denied help. I’ve tried looking for another job, applying for food stamps, working more hours at work, applying for loans, etc. But nothing has been working. Ive been close to being evicted and I am still close to, because I don’t have enough funds to pay for rent and bills during this summer. I heavily rely on my school refunds, and I thought I’d be getting enough for my summer semester, but it will only be $800. This has been quite burdening for me, because I have no where else to go if I had lost my place. My health has been a very difficult thing to pay attention to, and since I’m so busy trying to keep my place, I’ve gotten more sick and have had physical health issues that are getting worse. My situation is urgent, and I hope to find assistance with rent and bills while I focus on finishing school and my health.
