#update with cashapp that i apparently made a long time ago and forgot about

Hey. So.

It's officially getting colder here. And we don't have heat.

I'm. Scared, to put it mildly. This isn't something I've ever dealt with before. We've been trying all year to find assistance in fixing/replacing our furnace, but have hit a wall every single time. We either make too much money collectively (our combined income this year barely hit 30k lol), or places like Habitat for Humanity are so flooded with applications that they've put a hold on services in our area.

So far we are living on heated blankets and space heaters. But we can't have a lot of these going at the same time, because our house is so small that we'd blow a breaker. Fortunately we have a gas oven, but I'm sure you can all figure out why that wouldn't be a good idea to rely on long-term.

We all have medical conditions that make cold weather especially difficult to deal with, and we're already struggling to make our professional and personal commitments. It snows pretty regularly in the winter here. One of our space heaters is going to be allotted to the basement just to keep the pipes from freezing. I genuinely don't know what we're going to do. We are in pure survival mode at this point.

We are looking at starting a gofundme, but in the meantime, if anyone is able to help at all, by donating a dollar or two or just sharing and giving any advice you might have on how we can stay warm, I would genuinely, wholeheartedly appreciate it.

I know there are so many more terrible things happening in the world right now. I know we are all struggling to get by. It truly isn't my nature or preference to ask for help of this scale, but we're out of options. We're looking at at least $5000 for a new furnace.

Please help and share if you can. I love you guys no matter what 💜
