Would you Help a Stranger? Not long to go now....


Funds Raised: $50.00

Random Acts of Kindness - Please click here


So what can I say but things are not looking to good for me as it currently stands.  Im trying not to think to much about it and not freak out too much yet.  But it doesn't help when your work colleague that sits behind you is being melodramatic about it!  Im pretty sure she is waiting for me to lose the plot.    I mean she is already talking to me in that soft voice people put on when they are talking to the mentally insane which irritates me more.  She is blaming my snappy tongue on the all the stress Im under and not the fact she is annoying me with that voice and constantly finishing off my sentences with "but thats ok Jen..your under a lot of stress at the moment, its not easy, your about to have no where to live".  Even when what Im saying has nothing to do it.  In fact she is the only one bringing it up all the time! DRAINING!!

Ive got this great little app on my phone called thumb.  I love it.  Its where people ask questions with pictures and the public give a yes, no, mutual answer.    Yesterday 68% of the people who voted said they would give a stranger a dollar if it meant helping them.  I thought that was amazing.  So tonight I asked another question asking if I needed help, would then help me.  A staggering 89% of them said yes.  So I apologise now to those thumb people whom I have sent to look at my blog but I am actually down on my hands and knees asking if anyone would just donate $1.00 to me, it would give me the hope that i need to get through this and hopefully a roof over my head for myself and Prada. $1.00 may not be much to one but collectively it could to me be a lifeline.

I am begging and pleading for you all to help keep me off the streets.  I don't know where I have gone wrong in life to be here.  Yes it hasn't been easy but I don't expect people to feel sorry for me and usually Im too proud of a person to ever ask for help but Im about to have the one thing in life Ive never taken for granted away from me and it scares the hell out of me.  I keep looking at Prada apologising to her that this has happened and that Im powerless to fix it (Don't laugh she is my furkid and I know she knows what is going on).

Please if you could find it in your heart to help a stranger, who doesn't do drugs, doesn't drink, doesn't gamble, but works full time, volunteers in her spare time and who has just fallen on hard times, I honestly wouldn't be able to thank you enough.  There would be tears of joy thats for sure!

If you can't help I would really appreciate if you might spread the word and maybe share this blog 
on your facebook or google+.  Anything really...I just need help!

Another Day..


Donations:  $50.00

Donate Here

Once again I would like to thank the people who have donated today.  It goes without saying that I am extremely grateful for your help.

And Im thankful to the people who have shared their stories with me.  It opens my mind and forces me to look at situations differently and more openly.  Thank you for that is truly a gift that you can not put a price on.

Today I was meant to go to my volunteer course but as you would have it...I actually slept through my alarm.  I haven't been sleeping well, so to finally get a decent sleep was amazing to say the least.  But doens't really help me with my situation.

I answered all emails sent to me through this blog as I believe its important to do so especially if someone is helping you out and even if they don't, its still polite to answer.  Just so you all know, I will respond to all emails sent within 24 hours.

I seem to be delaying my task of making a time line and brief for my solicitor this thursday.  Its like I don't want to face it or deal with it but when I get like this, my whole life suffers...I just don't want to do anything but eat and sleep.  I must change my mindset but easier said than done!!

I know my dog Prada knows whats going on...and I think she thinks Ill be putting her in a dog home.  But can't afford it so I keep telling her she is safe on that one.  I never once trained Prada...I told her from the start I have only one rule...I do what I want and she does what she wants.  Works well.  She even toilet trained herself that when accidently lock her inside she goes to the bathroom lol.  She never barks and is the most well behaved dog ever!!  In need of a haircut tho!!



Anyways, only a short note today because nothing life changing happened and I didnt do anything exciting, in fact I didn't leave the house.  I am going house hunting tomorrow, I know I can't yet afford to but I have to start.  Maybe things will be different tomorrow cos we all know that tomorrow is another day!!!

Goodnight

Help Keep Me Off the Streets Please!!

Funds Raised: $20.00


First of all, I would like to thank the kind soul for his donation this morning and the hope it gave me that things wont end badly for me - but with my luck...you can never take your chances!

I am extremely tired, moody and depressed.  I always know when Im depressed because I get lazy and my house gets messy which makes me more depressed.  Probably need to work on that one!

Today was my first day with this blog and reaching out to the public for help.  I had some strange requests and I had some even stranger questions.  I can understand why some of you might just think Im a scammer and I have fabricated the whole story, I wouldn't blame you for thinking that but its also why I put up photos and really it is an elaborate story just to make up.

The only reason Im doing this is because I have no other option and the thought of being homeless frightens the shit out of me so Im doing everything I can within my power to make sure it doesn;t happen, I just can't do it on my own.  Showing that Im also prepared to work for the money should tell you that its highly unlikely to see me on ACA!!

I figured I needed 3K to move which includes first months bond and rent, removalists, steam cleaners and hopefully fix the car.  If I was lucky enough to raise more, I would hold a vote on my blog to choose which charity it should be donated to plus the bond at the current place Im in when I get it back.

Im not a thief , a scammer or dodgy.  I am just down on my luck for the millionth time and Ive exhausted all my resources on previous visits to rock bottom.  Im desperate!  I was 14 when I first didn't have a roof over my head and I also vowed it would be the last.  If anyone knows what its like being homeless they would know its the total opposite of being "as safe as houses"

In my time of need, I am giving my time up tomorrow instead of attending house inspections but to continue on with my volunteer work helping out the youth who are also having a hard time.  I can't afford to give them money but I can afford to give them my time.  Its something I enjoy doing and it makes me feel good knowing Im helping children that are less fortunate than me,  Even tho in my current situation I may be the less fortunate one!!!!

Once again Im going beg for you to help keep me off the streets - I can't go back.  Not after all these years...
