paige/@heypay​ has really had a difficult time lately. she’s had a hard time asking for help since staff deleted her blog (she got it back thankfully) and previous donation post, so i got permission to make this post for her!!! paige is a wonderful human being who is always so kind to other people. unfortunately, she was diagnosed with coronavirus, then caught another virus while she had it (they are currently unsure what is going on) and has been struggling with the symptoms for a very long time now. she is out of work because of the virus as a lot of us are, but her situation is difficult for even more reasons since she is so sick. on top of that, people have been very cruel to her on here for having to ask for help. please, if you are able to, help her by means of financial assistance or just by spreading the word that she needs support. it isn’t fair that she is going through this and she’s been a complete rockstar about it all anyways. she has tried to remain so positive and has been spending her time helping other people despite her own situation. let’s do what we can!

you can donate to her paypal here: paypal.me/PErlandson

I just want to say that I second EVERYTHING Julia’s saying in this post. Paige @heypay is a literal saint of a human who’s always there for everyone around her, even when she’s struggling herself. If anyone wants to and can help her out somehow, I can 113% confirm that this selfless bighearted angelic ray of sunshine deserves it so much.

So asking for help is something I hate to do, but at this point it’s getting scarier every day with bills piling up day by day. I live alone in Nashville, which is an expensive city, and I’ve been laid off from both of my jobs in the hotel industry. I did apply for unemployment along with the 3 million other people who are in similar situations. I don’t have my family to fall back on because they also just lost their jobs. I have 5 siblings and my mom is a single parent due to our biological father being a deadbeat. I share this to emphasize the fact that I really don’t have a way to get help elsewhere, and odds are no one will see this, but it’s my last thread of hope for some relief during these uncertain times. @taylorswift @taylornation if you see this, I have loved and supported you since I was in 4th grade. You inspired me to be a songwriter, poet, and lyricist. I grew up with you helping me through every hurtful or happy time, and I’ve become best friends with your wax figure at Madame T’s. I’ve always worked hard for everything I have, but I’m getting desperate. Any help at all right now would be so greatly appreciated. I love you and I hope you’re staying safe. -Hannah

despite all of our current emotional and financial struggles, less than a year from now we’ll be married. march 13th, 2021, can’t come fast enough at this point. @bloodrunscolds is currently on paid leave from work but the pay only lasts 30 days and our lockdown got extended at least an extra month so idk what’s going to happen after the 30 days. I’m a preschool teacher at a daycare. I already don’t make a ton of money, as we know teachers just don’t. On top of that, my hours have been cut in half due to smaller class sizes because of parents working from home/keeping kids home due to coronavirus. living in nashville, rent is expensive. we’re paying for a lot of our wedding on our own and have been doing so well up until now being able to budget a percentage of each paycheck towards the wedding. obviously, rent, electric, etc comes first though. we also both have other bills we have to pay. we are also moving into a new apartment next month when our current lease is up and that’s a whole other cost. with hours cut and pay cuts, we aren’t able to save nearly as much towards the wedding and it’s scary and sad. i am...stressed.

i wanna add to this– because of medical bills and credit card debt, we’re already in debt on top of this, moreso me. my medical debt keeps piling on along with my credit card debt, though the credit debt is my own fault– it’s still something that makes it difficult, even after i feel like i’ve paid so much to try and help with the debt, it seems never ending. our medical system already sucks, and emily and i both have a lot of health issues which results in a lot of medical bills. a lot of times we’ve had to choose between having no money so we can go to the doctor, or just sucking it up and dealing with the pain. we have tried to take out loans to help us pay off debt so we have one less thing to worry about, but we can never get approved. no matter how smart we are with money, nothing seems to help. we have had to choose between paying to survive and choosing between our wedding. it’s already a struggle to make sure rent and electric are paid every month, half of the time we can’t even pay the electric, we are lucky we have a roommate who helps us with that part when we need it, though it shouldn’t be her job to help us. nashville is expensive. living in nashville is expensive. paying for a wedding in nashville... is even more expensive, but we can’t leave here because emily is still in school here. and now our lease is up in a month which means we have another payment to worry about. we will have to pay rent for this place, while also coming up with the money to apply for another place and then pay for the rent there when we get it. honestly, all of this has happened at the very worst possible time. we ARE lucky that one of us is still working, and that one of us is able to get paid for 30 days, but hours are cut (teachers already don’t make much in general, as emily said) and after that 30 days we don’t know what will happen. i don’t even know how much i’m going to be getting paid either, all of it has been pretty confusing and i’ve gotten no clear answers. our wedding is something that has to be paid, the deposit is non refundable. but rent and bills are obviously more important and what is getting paid before anything else, it still sucks to literally have to basically put our wedding funds on hold since now we have no extra money for it and we are paying for basically everything on our own. it is stressful. and while we are aware feeding ourselves and having a roof over our head is the most important, our wedding is also incredibly important to us considering what we’ve had to go through to even get there– we finally thought we had it all figured out, and then this happened and we are anxious and stressed and don’t know what the future holds. we are lucky we got this month paid for, but we don’t know what the next few months will be like. no one does. i think a lot of people judge others based off of what they see online, but no one ever really knows what struggles are going on behind the scenes. everyone is struggling, a lot more than others, and i acknowledge that. but everyone’s struggles are valid. i think we all need help sometimes. and that’s okay. no one is asking for a hand out, just help. or even a prayer or good vibes. we all need it right now.

adding to this, my work closed today indefinitely. we have to wait for loans to go through to continue getting paid. this sucks. not only is it a financial strain, but i’m a preschool teacher so i’m going to really be missing my students. 😭
