If there’s one thing I have always struggled with, it is to ask for help when I need it. It has taken me weeks of doing everything on my own to produce next to nothing in terms of results, so here I am swallowing my pride (which is a hard thing to do for those who know me well).
After having a successful contract singing abroad for the summer, events following the very few days after the contract left me financially drained. I was not paid on time as according to the contract, which left me stranded in a country not my own for more than a week, and spending money I needed to save in order to make sure I was not sleeping on the street. Because of this (and the company’s refusal to reimburse me for the money I spent while waiting for them to comply with our contract), and the fact that I had to use the rest of my money to find a new place to live as well as having next to no work for the last few weeks, I am unable to pay my rent at the end of this week, as well as be able to buy basic necessitites like food. The most frustrating thing about this is that had the company paid me on time as it was stipulated in our contract, none of this would be happening.
Thankfully work picks back up again now that September is just around the corner, but as I do not get paid until the end of the month, it proposes a massive problem in terms of being able to get myself up on my feet. At the moment, I’m looking to just be able to try and raise £700, so that I may focus on keeping the roof over my head I only just procured a few weeks ago, and so that I can travel to and from work.
I will also be able to take up some Deco Sim commissions should anyone wish it. Simply fill out this form. Anything to help me through this particularly frustrating situation I did not expect to find myself in.
You can donate to me via Ko-Fi or Paypal, should you be able to.
And if you cannot, please help me by sharing this post out.
As always, I am so grateful for your support. It means so much more than you know.
