hi fedi, i need $76.71 to finish paying my telecommunications bill, which is my mobile phone, ipad* and home internet. i've been able to pay for most of it over the span of a few weeks using my disability pension, but i don't think i'll be able to get the rest paid before the updated due date (15th december, which is a little over a week away as of writing)...
i've been able to delay the previous 2 bills without any issue, but i had some trouble with this 1. for personal reasons i don't feel comfortable about getting into, i'm still having trouble... i need to live by myself due to trauma, so all of my other bills, groceries and rent are paid for by me. my groceries are expensive because i'm on a medically restrictive diet. i also have a bunch of meds i need to take daily.
i don't have anyone/anywhere else i could ask for money for this bill and i also don't qualify for any other assistance from governments/organisations (i've checked). i'm not in contact with the family i grew up with because most of them are abusive bigots and i don't want to make things awkward for the ones who aren't, so i can't ask them for help. my non-fedi friends are all poor, living paycheck to paycheck or both. i already owe my boyfriend money and i don't feel right asking him for this much.
the $43 in 1 of my banks is for my private health insurance, which i pay for weekly. the $17.06 is the rest of my money for the next 7 days**.
paypal: https://paypal.me/fixativexyz
payid: doom (dot) patrol716 (at) slmails (dot) com
*i use it for things like tts when i get overwhelmed, writing notes/code/short stories/etc, listening to music/podcasts/audiobooks, magnification, self soothing (eg meditation, coping strategies), journalling and making art
**i get paid weekly by centrelink because it suits my budget better
