Uranus and Neptune

Hello, my name is Clover. I know I don't post much or often, I very much doubt this post will even get seen by anyone, but I'm desperate. My seasonal job is almost at it's end (June) and I will lose my income until September. I have a severely disabled partner and two animals to care for, on top of credit card payments and living expenses. I can't afford that long of a dry season, and finding a replacement job has been impossible despite every store and business within 20 miles claiming to be hiring.

I understand times are atrocious and unfairly difficult for us all right now, given the state of the world. I'm not claiming I deserve your time more than anyone else, more than others who are suffering their own hardships — so know I write this as a genuine last resort.

My credit card interest is ateociously high bc I haven't been able to pay the minimum payment + the interest with how little I make, so I've been at a stalemate with my debt not really moving, but I am steadily edging closer to the limit. I have a plan to transfer the balance to a new card but that doesn't erase the debt that's accumulated so far that I still have to pay off and I refuse to file for bankruptcy and ruin my good credit that I've worked so hard to keep. Living expenses are higher than I've ever seen them where I live and I've lived here for almost my whole life, and I have to care for a disabled partner who can't work (still fightingnfor disability so no income there) and 2 animals on top of that, one of which needs to be on special (read: *expensive*) diet food. No, there is no one else to take them nor would I ever consider parting with my animals. They're as good as my own flesh-born children to me.

Providing for 2 adults and 2 animals while trying to support everyone's medical needs (mine included, hoo-rah) under crippling debt in this economy has been a nightmare — so hopefully, dear reader, you can imagine my fear at going several months without income right now.
