Hello,
I am a 34 year old man in Canada who is in need of financial assistance.
In my hometown, I went through some traumatic stuff at age 19. I stayed in that province for 15 years trying to establish myself and make sense of what happened to me, until my friends across the country reached out and insisted I needed to get out of there and that I could come stay with them in this new part of the country. So in July, after some planning, I packed my car, took what I had saved, and hit the road. I made it to my friend's, and felt like I had just escaped a burning building. I really felt liberated and so excited to have actually made the move, and to be here with my long time friend again. But then, the area received historical flooding, the basement where I was staying had to be torn up, and I became abruptly stranded.
I was able to find a room. It is $850 a month. I was expecting to have the room with my friend for a month or two at least to save up money for my own place. Unfortunately, being forced out soon caused me to dip into any backup funds I had left from the journey. I had a job here that ended in August, with the locating of a new place and readjusting to that unexpected dynamic hindering my ability to find another job yet.
I am just now facing a rent payment on the 1st of November of $850. After that, my costs include the fees for a new I.D, vehicle inspection/registration, and finding new auto insurance.
I hope this isn't too long, and I hope I have left my pride out of it completely. If you even read this far, I appreciate you.
