An update, I just received a certified letter from the the lender demanding $2295 by mid-August, any help p would really be appreciated.

Hi - I have a post about my GFM campaign that has been sitting in GD for a while. Just trying to publicize it a bit more before the utilities are cut.

Basically, I'm in the throes of a very difficult time due to some huge medical bills and bad investments that I made while trying to recover from the impact the bills had. I'm working with the mortgage lender, but could use help digging out of the hole I've dug myself into - need to feed the family and pets and pay the utilities. I'm normally very good at these things, but I'm in a cycle right now that it's hard to get out of when you're on a fixed income. Any contributions or shares to your social networks would be appreciated.

Feel free to email (message to my inbox, I mean) me with any questions, comments, suggestions, or gripes.

The post in GD can be seen here (note that there are a lot of great points that have been brought up, but they're more long-term things, I'm trying to take care of some immediate problems first):

8. Another kick, just in case. I'm going to be losing my utilities this week-

any assistance would help my family very much.
Also, since GoFundMe funds take 8-10 days to reach me, if anyone wanted to contribute a few bucks directly, they can do it at http://paypal.me/witsend

Thank you so much for any help or shares.

12. I thought this would be the best time to kick your thread!

Since it is LOL Cats Day and all! Donated and wishing you the best of luck! I know how easily these things can happen to any of us...

[qnr]

13. Thank you so much.

Yeah, it's both embarrassing and astonishing how fast it happened, and how hard it is to pull out of it once it has.

[Rhiannon12866]

15. No need

To feel embarrassed. We all need help at one time or another. I'm just glad I could help out a little and I've bookmarked your thread...

[qnr]

16. Thank you.

It really does make a big difference.

[Rhiannon12866]

17. I'm hoping it'll help too, if I kick it back to the top

DUers are exceptionally generous - if they see it. I never saw your previous thread, but then I'm usually here later at night. And a kick now will be for the morning crew...

[qnr]

18. Thank you - I hope they do see it :D n/t

14. I just wanted to point out that I'm working on this

from other directions. For example, I'm currently running a sale in my online store where everything is 33% off for the entire month of July. Part of the reason for this is that I want to move the more in your face items out of my Etsy shop, since I have a lot of people here in "The Body of Christ" (Corpus Christi, TX) asking how to see the shop. So I'm running the sale to get more people aware of the online store, since it doesn't have the built in advertising that Etsy does.

I'll be making less per sale with the discount, but hopefully I'll make up for that with increased numbers.

The coupon code for the 33% discount is FLASH33 and the URL is The Wits' End.

I hope things are looking up a little although you are still short of your goal.

[qnr]

24. Thank you so much

It's weird - I could respond in many ways to that. I still need to get traction as far as the finances go, but in general, things are going well.

I appreciate all the help, comments and shares to social networks everyone has given. They have gotten me to about 28% of my goal.

I just received a certified letter from the lender demanding $2295 by mid-August, so any contributions would be greatly appreciated.
