Short Version: Bad juju, need assistance paying bills and stuff this month.

Long version: Okay, so here's my living situation. I live with my stepsister and her boyfriend, and I basically am a live in caretaker. I watch his kid, I clean up the house, make dinner every day etc. Since the both of them work I can't get myself a job as a result - someone has to be here with the kid.So, I watch the kid when she gets home (around 4pm most days, unless she stays after school for walking/running club), and normally stream at night. That's the natural order of things over here.

However, money's been an issue after my stepsister's accident (she was rear ended at the start of July). She was working full time at Pizza Hut at that time, but they pulled her off the schedule for a few weeks after the accident before firing her (in a shitty way, we have a lawyer and everything because they sent a delivery driver off the clock to tell her she didn't work there anymore). She did start working at Kmart recently, but because she wasn't working this whole time - having to go to the chiropractor every day, the loss of income, etc - we've been struggling hardcore. Last month we only made the rent, storage, and phone bills. All of our bank accounts are currently in the red as we had some bills set to autopay, we maxed out Becky's credit card paying bills in July since she wasn't working at the time, and it's not looking much better at the moment. Like, once rent comes out her boyfriend is going to be $600 in the hole. And that's just his account, and that's before the overdraft fees are applied. I'm sitting at 0, Becky is sitting at -13 and United Consumers is about to close her account and report her to a credit collection agency if we can't get it to a positive balance. She's going to get paid too late for that. I've offered to take up a part time job in the mornings, but they want me here since I don't have a car of my own, so if they had to be at work I would have no way home. Any money I get doing PC work on the rare occasion that someone needs work done goes towards food and other necessities. We've been going to food pantries on a regular basis. We have food stamps. We don't go out much, I try my best to budget $125 a month on food and skip meals on occasion so we don't have to buy more. I stopped paying my SWTOR subscription and started pushing out articles for cash. I put driving lessons on hold (their cars are manual transmission, fml) so we don't have to spend so much money on gas. It just isn't enough.

I need help. I hate asking for it, though. So, now I'm trying to stream as often as possible, and I'm juggling my free time watching the kid and writing in an attempt to get some extra cash. Devon's picking up a second job. We're doing what we can. I'm asking for donations to help us out, until we get things situated. Once becky starts getting full paychecks and her settlement check gets here for the accident in July we should be okay, I'm just asking for any assistance in the meantime.
