it seems like a donation with my debit card will have comparable fees, so I'll go through the crowdfunder to make it easier. It's not much because I'm a student but I hope it helps.

You are not alone, and I'm sure you'll be able to get on your feet again soon. I've been where your are, but had family that was able and kind enough to help, so am paying it forward. We're all in this together!

Kudos, to all the kind, generous and wonderful people who gave Marrah a lift.
I think most of us go through a time where we're a little down and out, it's nothing to be embarrassed by. I hope your son has a wonderful birthday! |

place and ask for help. I would feel the same way.. but, it's better to do something and hope than keeping it to ourselves.
The Best of Luck to you.. I would give you some $$$ if I could but the best I can do now is moral support and kick your thread.  |

Use a bit of that money to buy yourself a good multi vitamin with some Vit. C in it.
Stress can really be harmful, wear down your immune system, and flu season is coming. I am thrilled that you got the help you need and delighted with how DU members came thru!

Today I was able to pay off the Electric, Gas and rent. I was also able to get my son a used laptop for school for his birthday. I am also able to go do an actual food shopping tonight. Hopefully I will have the car repaired and back on the road soon.
But most of all....I have been able to sleep and no long feel as though the constant stress will send me over the edge any second. Thank you so much for everyone who donated. I promise to pay it forward as I get back on my feet |
