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.

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

I really appreciate it. This feeling does I deed suck. I know this is what this comm is for but I just didn't think I'd be on this end of it. 😢

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.

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

Thanks bro. I can't believe they let it go this far without cutting off.
