It's true, I SHOULD have a DND podcast

So great news, my car insurance ALSO went up another $20/month without warning, so I'm even deeper in the hole and even more stressed 👍 Thank you SO UNBELIEVABLY MUCH to the couple of people able to help out, you mean the world to me

If you could rb, in case someone out there has the means to help a guy out, that would be spectacular. Or you could do some early christmas shopping? Maybe?

I hate to do this, but not asking for help is how I ended up with tens of thousands in medical debt to begin with and I'm getting desperate.

So, hi. I'm Sam. I'm a queer, autistic & ADHD living with mountains of medical debt that has accrued after working a decade at a job I believed in for just pennies, with nothing to show for it but burnout and depression. (Yes, I know there are charities that buy medical debt. I did not know about them before I took advice from An Adult That I Trusted and Thought Was Smart years ago now, who said just put it on a credit card. I have learned and suffered for that mistake)

Fortunately, I've got a good job now. Unfortunately, that doesn't solve all my problems overnight. Currently, I have about $36 to my name, which isn't even mine if you think about it (see: debt), and I don't get paid for a week. I'm working on the Big Shit, but there are two things I really need help with:

Immediate: I have a car payment coming out today for $156 that I can't cover

Less Immediate, but still looming: I NEED to have my wisdom teeth out. I've put them off for a long time, and I'm currently dealing with a lot of pain as I wait for the appointment next month. Insurance came back with them covering half, but that still leaves $1400 out of pocket.

I thought I had everything budgeted a little better this month, and all I had to worry about was the upcoming wisdom teeth appointment. I had a small car issue (tires needed replaced) and I forgot my rent went up this month and not next.

This is a huge ask, and I know we're all struggling, so I'm not asking for that full amount.

That dental appointment is the soonest I can get in, at the least expensive office that takes my insurance, so moving to a different doc isn't an option. They DO offer payment plans, however they only offer 6 months, and the full amount is too much of a monthly payment for me to make and still pay rent/make car payments/feed my cats.

If I can make that first payment on the day as big as I can, and cut the monthly payments, that would be an immense relief.

SO, my goal is $600, if at all possible, in the long run, so I don't lose everything

But my immediate, PLEASE if you can, so I don't lose my car or miss rent or get hit with overdraft fees that will just hit me even harder goal is:

$200

This would get my car payment and a little extra to get as many cheap, non perishable groceries as I can so I don't have to worry about what I'll eating the next few months.

If possible, literally anything is a huge help and amazing. If not possible, a little boost would be amazing.

If you would like to receive an actual, physical thing—like, say, a cussy piece of embroidery—you can go buy something from my Etsy store. Stock is limited, cuz I have been working enough that I haven't had time to make a lot of things or get new supplies, but I have some stupid mushroom earrings I can add to the shop, too, when I get a moment, and some stone jewelry that I made and have been meaning to sell for YEARS.

I also have a comic that I haven't updated in forever, because of the aforementioned busyness, burnout and stress. So I will draw you a little robot or something if you donate if you want

Here is a pic of my cats, they would also appreciate eating

Thanks for taking the time to read, I greatly appreciate that, too 💚

I put my links under the cut, so they're not just out there in case this post travels past my need of it

I suppose I should boost my shop, too. I'm hoping to add more (jewelry this time) over the weekend and add some international shipping options. So if you would like to help out a struggling queer, autistic & ADHD business owner who is having panics about money, this is another way to do it and get something cool for the trouble.

Some of the things I will try and add over the weekend

I finally updated my stupid shop

Hey, I finally remembered to update my Etsy shop. Consider buying something now that I'm going to remember to update it more often, I swear to fucking god

[samfosho]

I'm legitimately crying, there's too much going on so thank you to the person who donated I love you forever, would you like a robot

there's something compelling about the remnants of a beating. beyond just bruises. lacerations. burns. dried blood. the tender red from a hurt so deep the bruises haven't even bloomed yet.

Anyone have recs for riddle-heavy books? Puzzles and such, yes, but specifically protagonists having to solve riddles? Especially fantasy books! If you have any good recs—or even not good, but fit the bill—I would greatly appreciate them!
