Need urgent help! [1]

Hey

I hate that I have to write this but have nowhere else to turn. I’m in a huge hole with no way out. I live in the Madison, Wisconsin area, currently homeless but this summer I’ve alternated between camping & living in car on the street. I’ve reached out to resources but other than promises no movement. I’ve been working part-time at several places, but the paychecks are small & some weeks very small. Have a lead on a possible real job, like good pay & normal hours that I can do physically.

Big addition to all this crap is that I have about $400 in legal bills that have to be paid this month. If I don’t pay it all then I’ll probably be arrested. This terrifies me like I can’t even describe!

If I don’t get any help towards the $3480 that I need then I’m going to be really living on the street without a car. Having a car really changes things because it gives you a place that is yours. With that and a storage unit is the only way I’ve been able to make it even for a week.

Now my putting things off & paying just a little bit has caught up with me. If I don’t get some help soon then I’m really screwed which is why I’m asking this

group for a bit of help. At this time, I’m truly fucked without some help from somebody. I’ve been a long-time member of KOS. I’d asked for help back in the spring & not much came of it, but now if I don’t get something close to what I need then I’m in jail.

Thought that maybe I could make it until one of the groups that helps homeless in my area would step up but nothing yet. I don’t even have enough gas in my car to drive to other side of town where the places that offer help area are located. And now what do I tell them?

Any help, ANY HELP will have huge impact on me. This is the second time in a year that I’ve asked for help & now without it I may go to jail. Don’t know where else to turn! To that end for PayPal my info is cjreddun AT gmail dot com. My GoFundMe account is: “Get Cooper Cat Back Home”

Your fellow KOS member, CJ
