Few days ago I made this post asking for help because of an unpleasant situation that was scaring the shit out of me. I asked for $1000 to $1500 in order to cover bills and the half of rent that my former roommate would have normally covered.

I wasn’t expecting much of anything. Maybe a couple of hundred. I certainly wasn’t expecting $1922… almost breaking $2k is… Well it was overwhelming. I’ve cried a stupid amount in the past few days. I’ve also been trying to figure out a way to word this post that isn’t going to be terrible. I’ve got nothing. All I’ve got is unending gratitude and thanks… Not only does this take care of the bills and the rent, but it even gives me a small cushion to sit on in case of another emergency. Not going to lie, I was tempted to buy Dying Light: The Beast because my god those abs but not until I got a roommate and a stable situation. Besides, never know when a Steam sale will hit that, maybe sooner than I think.

Thank you all so much. I don’t know what else to say other than just thank you a thousand times over… thank you… I love you all

By the way, feel free to stop by my new Trek community although the name might be a bit familiar.

        FWIW, I’m somehow upgrading from stranger’s garage floor on a futon mattress & cramming 10-14 work weeks of 10+ hrs ea into a stable, mindful, healthy roommate solution this coming week. That’s up from pondering the pros & cons of local bridges, so I’ve got that going for me. 🤪🥰 You’re legit doing the thing, @Stamets@lemmy.world 🖖🏼

          I mean barely. It’s only by the help of everyone else. You try making a post! You never know what could happen

    You’re one of the good ones around here. I missed the initial post but just made up for it.

    Who are you on Bluesky? I find myself there more than here or Mastodon (unfortunately?)

      Hey no worries about missing anything! Its all good. Thanks for the thought though <3

      I was on Bsky a bit more but slacked off. Depression from dealing with my roommate killed a lot. Bsky link is in my bio I think but I’m the Starfleet Press Office

      Steam. Where I got everything else. Granted I’ve been playing the Tale of Two Wastelands mod lately which is super fun. Why?
