My fellow Kossacks, after months of desperately trying, I have exhausted all other avenues for raising the funds I need to satisfy my landlady and stay off eviction. I'm desperately in need of a short-term LOAN of $722. I do mean just a LOAN as I have lots of extra hours lined up and CAN pay you back by early July.
How did I get here?
As some of you know, I spent a few years traveling back and forth from Boston to Florida to help my mom to care for my dying father. I used up all savings cushion then racked up debt. My father passed away in February 2012 and we moved my mother up here to Boston. Then sadly she was diagnosed with early dementia. This disease slowly destroying her soul and it's so exhausting to watch her deterioration. Helping her proved another enormous financial strain.
Two years ago some Kossacks angels reached out to me and helped me during that desperate time. I was able to get my car repaired, care for my mother and slowly pay off my debts - they truly made me understand the power of this community and I remain forever grateful.
I've working very hard to get my life back in order. I began a second job, offering personal care giving services to senior also suffering with dementia and sharing with their families some of my hard-learned experience.
I was making inroads into financial stability and I tried my best to pay forward a little of the great generosity shared here with me.
Then BAM, just when my life seemed to be getting back on track after long years of struggle, two of my seniors were hospitalized and then a record breaking winter hit. Hours were cut drastically back plus my car hit a snow bank and needed repairs. Without my car, I couldn't work some needed hours. It proved all a vicious circle that left me once again behind on my rent.
I have been trying to hold off my landlady but she's completely out of patience with my struggles these last few years. I've scraped and clawed, and raised more than half owed but she wants me completely up to date THIS WEEK. My family's all strapped and can't offer me the loan I desperately need and forget the banks, my credit's been destroyed the last few years.
Please, I don't want to stress ANYONE financially but if any Kossack has any extra funds they could comfortably LEND me for about 9 weeks, I'd be forever grateful and I promise to pay back every penny.
If anyone can offer this loan, my paypal's addy is scamperdo@comcast.net - please also kosmail me your addy and name so I can arrange a payback schedule with you.
Thank you even for just reading my diary.
