First: Payment / donations can be sent to HERE (cashapp ) or HERE (paypal) ; I figure it's best to put those up front.
The long and the short of it is this. In Late September, 2025, I made a decision to help a friend of mine out by giving him over 1500 (and honestly, over 2000) dollars to keep him off the street. The details of that I don't feel comfortable sharing, but they were verified. He has a wife, and he has kids. To me, it was simple. He said he'd pay me back by November.
He didn't pay me back. Not only that, but the government shutdown happened -- and worse, bills have kept piling up. He has said, over and over, that the money is coming. He has paid me back some of it, but the remaining money he owes me isn't, ironically, even enough money at this point to pay off the negative he's left me with. He's also requested more money from me in the meantime, while continuing to make excuses.
As of today, april 16th, he owes me over 800 dollars out of the over 2000 I wound up giving to him to save him from being homeless, from his kids not having meds, etc.
I have been unable to make up the defecit because of ... obvious reasons. I had to take out loans to survive and keep my roof over my head. I am drowning in bullshit, all because this single guy lied to my face.
I have the following goals I need to make:
55 USD --> by april 21st --> to pay my insurance.
62 USD --> by april 22nd --> to stop a loan from being accelerated; if I cannot pay this by this date, they will begin to sue me/take me to court.
100 USD --> by April 28th --> to stop Allstate from canceling my policy.
140 USD --> by April 26th -> to pay my car bill. after this date, they will repo my car.
for a total of, with just these amounts, needing 357 USD ; that is not counting the potential additional 590 I may need to make rent in May.
that 357, plus an additional 400 dollars, is what I need to make it "even" with this stupid goddamn gap of money that I cannot overcome.
In May, I will be getting regular checks again. I have been taking highly reduced pay, it turns out, because my manager was not allowed to give me paid leave. I'll repeat, my manager was not allowed to give me paid leave. However, we have begun the work to change that and it is from what I understand that on Friday, April 17th, I will be put in the system as getting at least this last paycheck as paid leave, which means IF THIS IS APPROVED I will be able to pay my rent in may. Things will not be perfect in may and I will still need help, however, I will be in much less danger and can probably make the way out of this pit on my own after that.
Excuses this guy has given me in the last week:
his basement mysteriously flooded overnight (i googled the area he lives and couldn't find any flooding signs or recent rains, but it could have been a burst pipe or something)
his paypal has been held/cancelled so he cannot use that.
his bank has "released the funds but not actually sent them" (which he's used three times)
he has had to be off of his phone for a period of time because of real life issues (which i'm sorry but I dropped everything for this guy when he messaged me that he was in urgent need of help)
he cannot get zelle/venmo because ???? his accounts have been cancelled.
he has a mysterious cash app glitch that is keeping him from being able to send me money.
his lawyer is talking with his bank about the issue, they said it should be resolved (... three days ago). he still has not given me any contact information for any of these people.
upon asking Cashapp support, they have been unable to verify activity on the account he has given me over there.
Needless to say: I am not seeing a cent of what he owes me.
I am offering emergency commissions, which will be included in a reblog coming soon!
