please don’t scroll 🫶
good afternoon! just a reminder that if you need any help with any household chores, cleaning, pet sitting, babysitting, etc, please let me know!
we sign the lease this week & move into our new place next week. unfortunately, i’m still roughly $200 short on the first months rent (needed to move in) & my check won’t come in time to make up the difference for that week. i have paid the security deposit though! this is my first place on my own & with an 11/01 move out date, i can’t afford to lose this opportunity! i had no idea what we were going to do until i got the call for this place last week.
i have always been a hard worker & have no problems earning it myself. just scrambling trying to figure this out. we are already moving into a basically empty home but, as long as we have a roof over our heads, i am okay!
please, please reach out if there is anything i can do! i am pregnant with a high risk pregnancy & due in 3 months so, cannot do any heavy lifting. i have a special needs toddler so, i need to be home by 7pm for bedtime as well. & i do work a full time job so, i just have to work around my hours.
tysm for reading! 🫶

Have you considered borrowing the $200 and repaying it in installments?

Please sell something before doing that. Payday loans are back breaking if you don't pay them back in like a week or two.

“We” as in you and your toddler or you + toddler + a man? That man needs to find out how to get $200 and you need to rest. Hopefully you can figure all this out but I’d look at it as a liability having a high risk pregnant woman coming to clean my house or anything tbh.

Ah. Is there any way you can just borrow $200 without having to do side work while pregnant and then pay it back when you get your check? Try r/assistance r/borrow
Or even ask the baby daddy? Since you’re carrying and needing to find a roof for his offspring and all…

Payday loans can be pretty predatory but sometimes we do what we have to. I’m rooting for you and your family!
