Desperate Plea For Help - Comissions

Wed Oct 21, 2009, 9:57 PM
  • Mood: Depressed
For those of you who know me, you know that this is one of the hardest things I've had to do. I hate asking for help, have never EVER liked asking for help - had to do this once a few years ago and hated it then - but am hating it even more now. I know that things are tough on everyone right now, and I know that my situation is not special - that's part of why I hate that I feel that I have to do this - but we are down to the last few days and our last option has fallen through -

Some of you may know that I was fired from my job last year - I know that this is the story all across the US right now, so that's not surprising. I was able to get back into school which was great - and Trena (:iconrinigrl:) has, thankfully, continued to work. We have had to rely a lot on student loans to help us through - but sadly our credit is not good enough to get one without a co-signer. Trena's parents, unfortunately, are unable to help - and my parents .. while in a position too help, and who had previously said that they would help .. have refused. Many of you know that they have never been happy with mine and Trena's marriage - have even come right out in recent days and told me that he never should have adopted our children - that I need to 'grow up' and move to Wisconsin to get a 'real job' and a 'real education' (Because apparently the one I'm getting in Utah is fake) and so .. have refused to cosign the loan that they had already said they would. Sadly, we were depending on this loan to pay November and December rent. Our rent payment is $1,250 - and unfortunately we are in a lease until June.

Come January the other half of his loans will come through and we (hopefully) will be able to pay rent until June to find a new place - otherwise, as stated in our lease, we would be required to come up with $1,400 to break the lease and give 30 days notice to get -any- of our security deposit back.

Now we are really scared, because it is coming on the last week of October and we are not going to be able to pay rent. The worst part is that our Felicia will turn 10 on November 2nd - and while the kids know that Christmas simply isn't going to happen this year - we were really hoping we'd be able to at least do something for her birthday.

.... And now that I have THAT rant off my chest - you may be wondering 'what can I do to help?'

Well ... Trena and I are offering REALLY CHEAP commissions - we are hoping to be able to do this fast enough to get enough money to at least cover October Rent - and then continue to take them through November and maybe be able to pay November rent - now I know that THAT is likely NOT going to happen - but if we can get enough to pay October rent - then I will save everything from my paychecks (which means not paying any of our utilities or insurance) to pay for December.

SO - here is what we are offering - and please know that even if you could only get one $5 or $10 commission - every little bit helps - and we will both work our butts off to do our best to bring your picture to life!
