A post I am loathe to make.

lionkingcmslAs most of you know I tend to live by the rules "Treat others better than yourself" and "Love your brother/neighbor better than yourself", so making a post like this is very hard. Making a plea for help is outside my norm, as most of you know.
First off let me say, yes, I know I screwed up back in July. I never expected to be out of work this long. I am trying to get another job; I even put in an application at the new local Dunkin' Donuts.
That said I'll be blunt: I'm out of money. If I turned in all my pennies in my penny jar I'd get about $25 tops. The bank closed one account and may do the same to the second as it is severely over-drawn. Both Pay-Pal accounts are overdrawn.
This morning I gave Maggie the last of the dry cat food. I have seven cans of cat food from when she was recovering. My cell phone is scheduled to be shut off, and I need that to hear from any employers. My truck payment is coming close to 30 days past due. I can't loose that or else all bets are off with me getting another job with Amtrak. I don't have any oil for heat, so I'm using electric space heaters to keep the first floor warm. One bright note is that my electric can't be shut off due to a program that New Jersey has in place.
Just to let everyone know I have not been "wasting" my money on any non-essential items. Model railroading and 3D models are not being bought. I know I'd get shot for buying such objects.
How much do I need? $350 for cell phone; I was just paying the past due amounts; $1100 for truck loan; $50 for credit card bill, which is over limit; and some money for food. So call it ~$2000.
As for food I have been going to the local food bank when it is open and the local Family Dollar when I can scrape enough money together.
Now I am not asking for money, I am just letting people know what my situation is. Before anyone thinks I may do something irreversible let me reassure you that is off the table. I have found my normal seasonal depression has not taken hold this year. Am I concerned about my current situation? Hell, yes! Depressed? No.
Some of you may feel that I am reaping what I had sown. I understand that, and in someways agree with you.
If you feel that I am worthy of your help and want to help feed Maggie please use PayPal and use the e-mail address of lionking at snip.net . Once I get a job I will try to repay you as soon as possible.
If certain people donate I will hug you and then want to kill you because you have done so much for me already. You know who you are.
So that is it for now. On a side note my father will be up for Christmas and my one brother's step-daughter is getting married on the 27th of this month.
