BillieBI know that many of us are struggling, but I am really in a bad place right now. I am doing everything I can to get back on my feet, but every step forward is met with two steps back. If you can spare anything to help me stay in my apartment & pay my bills is deeply appreciated. gofund.me/98b7695c5
